Photo 298: Sick humor
My first thought was “yeah, these two were nailed because mannequins can’t move out of the way of a moving vehicle.”
Photo 238: Chicago Skyline
Jason and I bought a Groupon on a few months back for Chicago Photo Safaris and after looking at the offerings decided to do one of the night time safaris to hone our night shooting skills. We stopped at 5 places in the downtown area over 4 hours. This shot was taken from near the Adler Planetarium, which is a fantastic place to get a skyline shot.
I learned some good stuff from Jessica, our tour leader, and took advantage of the locations. I’ll put up a flickr album with the best shots later, but I wanted to get today’s photo of the day up. (I’m exhausted due to the late night. Boo, I’m old!) I’ll definitely sign up for another trip with them next summer.
Photo 195: The CIA did this too!
Public art station of Marilyn Monroe on Michigan Ave. The big unveil is tomorrow night.
Some bonus pictures…
This one makes me laugh:
This one make me kinda uncomfortable with the level of detail given. Kinda creepy, and I’m not a prude.
Photo 152: Hancock
I took this with Camera+ on the iPhone. I used their “Clarity” setting to tweak the colors, and I’m hating what it did to the sky. I think that adjustment isn’t meant for bright well-lit shots. Unfortunately, I didn’t snap anything else yesterday, so this is what we’ve got crappy color and all.

Photo 118: Office building on the river
I have no idea the name of this building. Also, Jason has me on a black and white kick, but with how grey and nasty the sky is the past month, it does add to it.
