This shot is from the Chicago Botanic Garden during a morning run. Spring is technically here, but there have been days recently that have discouraged us otherwise.
This shot was taken with my point-and-shoot Nikon S52. I guess I was inspired by some of John Caruso’s urban shots as part of his Project 365. John finds many interesting photos throughout the urban landscape — and though this is not as “urban” as you can get, it’s urban for Chicago suburbia.
I have to admit, I was pretty excited about this photo. There are photos that I take (this being one of them) that I want to share with my readers right away. I don’t, because there’s about a 3 day lag on when a photo is taken and it gets up on the site. This allows me to batch up a few photo posts about twice a week, so I’m not tied to the computer post-processing and posting the photo on a nightly basis.
I took this shot on Fri, March 20th, but you aren’t seeing it until Wed, March 25th.
I was driving in Grayslake down this street I’ve driven a hundred times, and saw this busted old greenhouse. I’ve never seen it before, nor have I seen the farmhouse next to it. This house and old greenhouse is surrounded by a ‘90s built subdivision – which leads me to conclude that this house and old greenhouse was the original homestead of the farm land the subdivision was built upon. This photo was taken with my Nikon S52 point-and-shoot.
This location is a treasure trove of photos. I can’t way to go back and get more!
On a different note, by the time this photo is posted on the blog, I’m in Miami for a conference. Expect to see photos of sun and beach when I get back!
Lamps… that aren’t in my house! My wife Kristi and I went shopping without the kids, and we wondered into Restoration Hardware.
This shot is with my Nikon S52 Point-and-shoot (as you can see in the first lamp!)
It’s amazing how you can find a photo without even looking. I drive by this place twice a day going to/from work. Even though I’ve passed it hundreds of times, *I’VE NEVER SEEN IT.* I didn’t know it existed.
This one morning after a hard rain the night before – this place jumped out at me. I don’t know if it was the lights, the mist that surrounded the building, or the combination with the doors – but this place screamed, “TURN AROUND AND TAKE MY PICTURE.”
I did.
Unfortunately I only had my Nikon S52 point-and-shoot with me.
It’s still a really neat shot.
I’ve embarked on this Project365 for myself. I’ve been very committed to getting a photo each and every day — even though it might be with my cell phone camera right before I crawl into bed.
I bring you a photo today that *technically* is not from Day 62.
I’ll pause a moment for everyone to pick themselves off the floor and to regain composure.
With that said, I *do* have a photo from Day 62, one that I’m very excited about. Unfortunately, I didn’t get permission for the photo, and want to error on the side of caution and not post it.
This photo of Miles is from Day 61, and I’ll share it with everyone to continue your daily feed of photographic goodness.
