For my wife, Barb.
We celebrated our 25th anniversary by dining in the Signature Room at the 95th located atop the John Hancock Center in Chicago.
We had a wonderful time.

We've had nothing but gloomy skies here lately. Zero days with sun this month. I decided to go out Friday anyway. Much to my surprise when I got to Rt 80 the sky opened and I had a nice day to explore, shoot some photos and chat with a few of the locals. Finished the day with a nice slice of apple pie and cup of coffee at at a restaurant in town. When I got home, yep, cloudy skies.

Sometimes I wish I could use my old equipment and work in film again. Pure nostalgia here. I recently found this print in a box of old stuff. I made this photograph in 1965 when I used to roam the streets of Chicago and take street photographs. I could do so safely and would go to the city as a high school kid every weekend. I sold my Lionel Trains to get the money to buy my first good camera. It was (I still have it) a Minolta A5. This photograph is a tribute to my first photography teacher, Edward Sturr. He studied at the Chicago Institute of Design under Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind and had a big influence on me. This is the only image I have from those days.

I have to move fast to get these because my wife likes to cut them and bring them inside. She loves to fill the house with cut flowers. The ladies at the nursing home are also delighted when I bring them a big bouquet of flowers from the garden. I hope you enjoy them too.
