Saw this reflection of the Batcolumn sculpture last week. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any lenses with me to get the best composition, but still thought this was a good look at Claes_Oldenburg’s sculpture outside of the Social Security building.

Thanks to Ren in Bailiff, I caught their show last Friday – photos to come. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the patience to stick around for Poi Dog Pondering… not after the second opening act, Mistress Stephanie & Her Melodic Cat. I have a few photos of what occurred on that stage, but none do it justice. Let’s just say this is a good look of surprise for what we saw:

Friday, November 27th - Old Timer

Snapped a few photos of this old time Ford truck outside of Calumet Photo last week. This machine looked like it had been refurbished pretty well, with a nice interior and shiny new paint job. Don’t see too many cars like this on the road.

It seems like we always forget about Thanksgiving.

This psychic reader is located right across from my condo, and I am never tempted to go in there. You would think that after several beers one night I would stumble in and ask for the future. Alas, it has never happened.
One night last month, I walked by and snapped a couple photos. Immediately, the psychic felt my presence and came storming out. She disguised it as a cigarette break, but promptly asked me what I was doing. I responded, “Admiring your neon lights.” She was caught off guard. I snapped one more photo and proceeded home. She may have been worried that I would catch them in a lie. Photos don’t prove the future wrong – they verify the past.

Wednesday, November 25th - Dubuffet

I took this shot with Kodak Ultramax 400 in my Nikon FE with a 50mm f/1.8 lens. The sculpture, Monument with Standing Beast by Jean Debuffet, is located outside the Thompson Center in the Loop.

Luckily for me, I was shooting with a very wide lens on this particular day. Looking up from a 50mm lens, this church wouldn’t have looked so impressive.
