Featured in Chicagoist "Around Town" 7/29/10
B&W shot on SW corner of North/Milwaukee, posted here on "Around Town" today. Airline pilot and sleepy guy waiting for the 72 North Ave. Bus. You can see a girl smoking in the background at Subterranean too.

Tracks at Kinzie
Another nighttime bike ride, going my usual path down Milwaukee to Racine and through Fulton Market....
I stopped at the train tracks crossing Racine and grabbed this shot. I was so nervous of getting caught that I must have moved mid-exposure, and the image turned out with these bendy trails of light... Pretty cool, I must say.

Abandoned farmhouse
On a bike ride outside of St. Charles, MO, I went wandering around and found this house off a private driveway. The entire house and surrounding property (pool, poolhouse, tennis courts, farm, stables, sheds, garage, etc!) are totally ruined and dilapidated, we found items referencing 2007 but it's obvious that no one has lived here since long before then.

18th Street
In my journey yesterday I took 18th St. between Halsted and State. This is a skyline view near Canalport Ave.
3701 S. State St. (C)
New stencil spotted south of IIT, at 37th and State. The bike ride here and back was a killer but worth it.

1460 W. Arbour Pl. (A)
Found this cool stencil in the brick-paved alley behind Arbour Place, off Ashland. I think this alley was once a full street... anyways, there were copies of this stencil put up all down the alley, I think it was being tested out.

Red tulips
Second photo for today, this one is couple months old--4/9. The early days of spring, more sunlight it seems, the ending conclusion of sleet/snow/freezing temps, and mild temperatures appearing every now and then. These tulips popped up in the backyard. I think Apr/May is my favorite time of the year. Warm weather is just beginning and the summer ahead gives you optimistic feelings.
1303 N. Milwaukee Ave.
Another round of Polaroids, this time around Milwaukee Ave in Wicker Park. This is a shot at The Ark Thrift Store near Paulina. A random headless, armless mannequin posed on its knees (??) with legs crossed. Racks of women's clothing set up behind it.

2747 W. Superior St. (B)
Riding around South Humboldt Park/Ukie Village area this particular afternoon, this electric, graphic-looking Nite Moves tag caught my eye. I went down the alley behind Superior to snap this shot.

3943 W. Diversey Ave.
I was outside of the Walgreens at Pulaski and Diversey. I forgot my memory card at home, headed downtown to Critical Mass, so I bought a new one here and was trying to rip apart the military-grade plastic packaging on said memory card.
I got the card out and "tested" it out: across the street, these people were kinda just stationary, stumbling around in place. I think the woman caught glimpse of my camera and averted her gaze downward like you see here. She has a pretty frozen demeanor going on.
The guy in the middle looks pretty goofy here -- shortly after this, he proceeded to pick a fight with the guy in red, and shoved him into a parked car. It got pretty heated, and you could tell the guy in blue was supremely wasted.
