Invasion of the Cicadas

So these cicadas were everywhere in Chicago when I was out there a couple weeks ago - it was the 17-year invasion and it was pretty trippy. They were landing all over on the models as well as me. Here's a shot of one that landed on one of my favorite lenses - my Canon EF 70-200 2.8L IS...

A good meal...

Rainbow after dinner
So this weekend was the 2007 NPC Jr Nationals in Chicago although in reality the whole weekend was spent at the Hyatt Regency in Rosemont, IL. Today I actually made it into Chicago and had a good authenic tasting Mexican dinner at Perez and when I stepped outta the restaurant all sated, looked up to see a rainbow. I wanted to get a shot while it was brighter but it faded by the time I go up two blocks to the overpass where I could see the full arc of it above the Sears Tower.

So I had a great tasting at Honig Winery up in Napa last month and my friend Collin took this shot of me while we were there. I don't have too many shots of me but she got a good one here.

Slacker Revisited

Columbus Airport Signage
So I finally saw Slacker again for the first time since I saw it in Austin when I went to UT. It played at the Dobie Center caddy corner to my old dorm, the Goodall Wooten. It was cool to see old school places like Double Daves Pizza and especially GM Steakhouse. The dialog is great as well as seeing a lot of the actors that I more recently saw in Waking Life, and how different they look non-rotoscoped. It's a good flick to see again if you haven't seen it since it came out in 1990.

Oh yeah this image I took with my cameraphone - I thought it was kinda funny in the 'we card everyone' collage that they even included infants since I doubt too many of them are ordering alcohol.
