Took 10 pictures.

Four days into this project i realized that i'd have to go walking around outside every day in order to find good pictures.

Took 21 pictures.

Because of the short holiday week, it's Saturday and i'm back out in Thatcher Woods, walking the dogs. This is where the path in the woods crosses the train tracks. That afternoon i drove out to a mall and met a woman i'd been emailing through Match.com. We went to see The Fellowship Of The Ring, which was great. She wanted a kiss at the end of the date, but i deferred that for another time... which never actually came, but it was fine.

Took 8 pictures.

Either i didn't take the dogs out to the woods today or i just didn't find anything interesting to snap while i was there. So i just shot my favorite subjects, teco and Seera. They eventually killed this tree by stripping all of the bark off of it while trying to get at squirrels.

Took 15 pictures.

I shot a few pictures before going to work, then took a break in the late afternoon to wander and shoot.

Popped out of the office early and shot 4 pics (this is one of them), then 3 more of the brick walls in the office.

I spent a while taking pictures of Katie, Betty, and Ron for their pictures on the Siren Interactive website, then after work i went down on Lake Street and continued experimenting with long exposure times.

Took 12 pictures.

Evidently i didn't shoot pictures all day and finally went outside my house at 8:45 and shot with a flash in the dark, then took a couple of the candle on my kitchen table. Looks like i had been to REI recently to buy a new snowboard rack for my truck.

It was raining on January 14th.

Took 12 pictures.

It was a kind of gray day. I shot some pictures out the office windows after work, then went outside for more shots of lake street at night.

Took 16 pictures.

At about 11AM it started to snow! Whee!!

13141516171819

Took 13 pictures.

The snow was already looking a little skimpy, but today started my pics of reflections in puddles.

I had Teco at work that day, probably because he had a vet appointment, but i'm not sure.

Took 10 pictures.

Greg (ultimate player), his girlfriend Becca, Paige (another ultimate player), and i drove up to Madison, Wisconsin and spent the night at Mark Suchman's place.

Took 18 pictures.

Greg, Becca, Paige, and i spent sunday snowboarding at Devils Head Ski Area. I spent some time giving lessons to Becca and Paige, which was my first time teaching since leaving New Mexico. Paige had boarded before so she split off after a while and i stayed, helping out Becca. After lunch i took some runs with Greg and Paige, leaving Becca to fend for herself and she took a couple painful falls. I feel kinda bad about that. I don't know if she's been back on a board since.

The drive back went by really fast as Paige and i had a great conversation all the way down to Chicago while Greg and Becca rode in the back seat.

Took 21 pictures.

I'm not always sure that i've gotten a decent picture for the day so sometimes i shoot off a bunch in the evening. This evening i shot some of the parking garage behind the office, then some long exposures in the Siren office.

Took 13 pictures.

Once again, a few outside pics, then some evening shots in the office. This is one of the windows that goes to nowhere.

Took 15 pictures.

I was still playing around with long-exposure night time shots, making the lights dance.

20212223242526

Took 11 pictures.

The memory card that this days pictures were stored on got corrupted and it took a while to salvage the shots. I didn't get them all, but i got about 75%, and a couple of key ones that i didn't want to lose. Whew! But i was going nuts for a while, thinking that i wouldn't be able to salvage any of them and that'd be the end of the project.

Took 13 pictures.

I started expanding my daytime work-break wanderings, this time down to Oak Park Avenue and back, passing by the Lake Theater, which became a seemingly inexhaustible source of shots.

Took 29 pictures.

January 26th was an unseasonably warm saturday and i took the El down to Washington Park to play ultimate.

This train bridge is in the woods along the des Plaines river north of Chicago ave. I started branching out in the places where i took the dogs for walks so that i could have a wider range of things to take pictures of.

Took 12 pictures.

It was a bright sunny day and i was out in the middle of the day. No lonng interesting sunrise or sunset shadows to play with. There was a mom with her child in the bakery and they left the kid's wagon parked out front.

Took 22 pictures.

The building next door to the Siren office had some new piece of equipment installed on its roof, and a big crane had to be brought in to get it up there. That kept my camera occupied.

By the next morning we had a lot of snow. i was busy all day programming the Transamerica CD-ROM, which my brother Paul came in to help me with that evening with some gnarly math programming.
