Photography: Weekend Love
It's been a slow creep, a slow thing to accept, but we're there.
I'm officially a homebody.
I love being home, and I will move mountains! skyscrapers! to be home.
It was a great weekend. It was also another ridiculously beautiful fall weekend (see morning pictures above!) Friday night happy hour was spent with my best best best friend to celebrate our 10-year-friendiversary! Saturday, I spent pretty much all day happily pinballing around my place.
Today I ventured allllll the way to the west loop (this is like a $7 cab ride or a 25 minute CTA commute, basically nothing, I am just that used to being within a .5 mile radius at all. times.) to meet my SCFWSC cohorts at RM Champagne Lounge for brunch.
Because I am still a huge pansy about taking my camera out in restaurants, I have zero/zilch/nada photos of this very fun brunch.
Instead, I have photos of the rest of my day: hanging out with my sister and her manfriend for Sunday night pot roast followed by a looooong walk home. That eternal journey turned out to be a great chance to practice my nighttime photography skills. It also was actually all of 15 minutes, but thanks to daylight savings time (the end of DST? the beginning of it? the second coming of it?) it felt like a million-mile-hike because I am old, and it is past my bedtime.
I hope your weekend was every single thing you wanted it to be!

Chicago Marathon Photos
I love the marathon. I can think of few things more inspirational. I cry every year. You're all just incredible.
Oh, and I found Waldo.

Photography: Chicago Sunday
There's few things more enjoyable than a Sunday afternoon walk. Something about a nice long walk makes me feel healthy, productive, adult! Even when the reality is that I'm mildly hungover from Octoberfest celebrations the night before and the most productive thing I've accomplished is refilling the water tank in the Keurig.
On just one such beautiful Sunday, I headed out for a long walk and on the way out, grabbed my camera to work on my 10,000 photographs... here's a few of my favorite shots.

"Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst."
Quite the quote by Henri Cartier-Bresson, hmm?
Well, 9,804 to go.
I received the most amazing gift for Christmas - a Canon Rebel T3 and a lens that's way too cool for me. I'm going to take non-iPhone pictures, guys!
I've spent the past week reading as much as I can and watching eight gazillion YouTube tutorials. Aperture! Shutter speed! Camera shake! ISO! So much to learn.
I need a pet pronto so that the gift-giver doesn't get sick of being my unwilling (and often unsuspecting) subject.
On my last official day off of work for the holidays, I clomped around in the snow outside for a while and managed to snag some halfway decent shots. Get ready for lots more!
