As this Blog Changes

Ok, so sticking to a photo a day is not working for me. I have decided that instead of going for the 365 challenge, I am going to just keep this as a photo blog and show the beautiful photo's that I capture (past, present and future). I look forward to getting some more posts up soon. Chicago has been a bit gloomy as of late and I have not had the urge to take the camera out. Hopefully, the weather will change and maybe we might get some of all that snow that has been predicted for our area. That would make a great subject to photograph, plus document for the next generation.

I do hope everyone will stick with me as my focus changes.

Final Roses of the Season

Looking at the bottom rose that is
getting ready to open, you would never
guess that it would be so yellow once
it opens it's petal's.

While Driving, Watch for the Moving Trolley

Another trolley picture that was taken in Memphis,
it was used in my final project for my photography class.
This was taken from my moving vehicle (I was not driving)
and it was headed right for us.

Chicago Firehouse Restaurant

Anther photo taken for class. This was
originally a working firehouse, built in 1905.
You can read about the history here.

Memphis Trolley

Again, this is from my photo archives.
Taken December 2010, in Memphis, TN.
I don't know what bridge this goes over,
but right behind us is the Mississippi River.
This was also used in an assignment for class,
object was to catch an object in motion and freeze it.

The Mississippi River

Another photo from my archives that was
snapped for my class. This was on the Mississippi
River, Dec. 2010. I loved how the boat in the front
takes up majority of the picture and the barge is
minimal in the background.

Pullman Firehouse

Pullman Firehouse, 1890's-1957
This was another assignment for
my photography class. We had to tell a
story with our pictures. My story was
about the change in architecture of
Chicago Firehouses through the
years. This was one of my favorite
photo's and it was my teacher's favorite as well.
