Hazy Snow

This week the Midwest and northeast part of the US was hit with major snow storms. The northeast part of the country without a doubt received far more snow than Chicago. What was I doing while it snowed - driving. It first hit us at night, when I was also driving but I didn't have my camera with. The next day I had to take my mom to my aunt's and was hit with the second phase of the snow. This time I was prepared and snapped away. Having been in my storms before I was not scared at all, that type of stuff is exciting for me.

Shed Aquarium

This past weekend I took my cousins, sister and nephew to the Shed Aquarium. Kids sure are innocent and carefree aren't they? They had a very good time and enjoyed the fishies. Take a look at some snapshots I took during our visit at the aquarium.

Winter NIght In Chicago

I left work around 6:30pm and wanted to capture the snow fallling. The haze and night lights I think captured that moment for me well.

Let It Snow

Where were you when the first snow storm of the year fell? I wanted snow but I wanted it to fall while I was sleeping. Many of it did, but many of it also came pouring down all day the next day. I had to endure walking six blocks from the train station where my car was parked, while the snow hit my face as I walked against the wind.

Chicago Graffiti

I was driving by Ashland & North avenue the other day and saw the mural on a side building. I couldn't help but pull over and look at it more closely. The botton read Thanx 2 MIS Computer Corp, when it should say Thanx 2 Our Troops. Hang in there Joe, I hope you return home soon.

Hanging Lamp

I like this lamp, found in one of our bedrooms. Sometimes it seems cold, dull and standard. Other times it seems clean and simple reminding me of an awakening of sorts.

Happy New Year 2005!

My family and close friends welcomed the new year with a glass of champagne, confetti, whistles, delicious food and happy music.
