Windy City Blues

I totally miss Illinois. Maybe it was the weather or the kind people in the area, but Chi-town was wonderful. How should I start? These photos are from my old blog and this will be my last photography label on here, because I realized its pointless since every picture I post here is a photograph. The shots are from winter using a 18-200 lens and spring using a 12-24. I am currently bored at the moment and looking through old photographs.

Winter Session:

I'm scared of heights, so I spent most of the time listening to "Dies Irae" it made the trip seem more epic

My bokeh'N Heart

Looks pretty gay, but I finally messed around with my aperatures. Using construction paper I cut up octagons, pentagons, hearts, stars, diamonds, squares, and all sorts of crazy shapes. Unfortunately, everything else looked horrible except for the heart. If anyone has a hole puncher that can do insane shapes please let me borrow it. I wanna do pumpkins for this holiday season. Hooray for Bokehs. All I need now is a new external flash. and a tripod collar for my 80-200 and i'll stop buying accessories for awhile.

Heart shaped lights began forming everywhere. It was scary. Cupid's chokehold

To the untrained eye street lights look like this:


But to an expert in making love, this is his perspective:
