Hi Everyone: Life’s been a little busy, but I have been looking in on the PDML, though don’t always have time for extended comments. Hope your 4th was fun. Darrel and I ran off to the art museum here followed by lunch, the obligatory walk to the Bean, a self portrait sitting by a street artist, and ice cream in the park. It was a crazy weekend with the holiday, The Taste, and Grateful Dead concert. Great day for people watching.
It’s been ions since I’ve done any sort of street photography, but was able to do some; I’m rusty. A street artist was doing free portraits. That’s not something Darrel likes to do, but he agreed. Darrel thinks the artist rendered him too cheerful and didn’t “catch my sparkle.” I actually like the portrait. There’s a shot of it in the gallery. The shot of the guy staring at the shrubbery reminds me of a shot our Bob W. would take—I call it “Homage to Bob. W.” The weather has been amazing here in Chicago. It’s been three consecutive temperate summers; many say it’s because our winters have been so cold—polar vortex and all—causing the lake to stay cooler longer making for cooler summers. Not sure if it’s true, but we’ll take these cooler summers. No doubt, we’ll have some warmer days in July and August, but so far it’s been great! http://www.caguilaphotography.com/4th2015/index.html Comments welcome!
