I know I’ve posted photos of this fountain at the Garfield Conservatory before, but it’s such a beautiful object.

A Little Lomo Taste
Fulton Market
I read rumors that this building was going to be converted to condos, but that was during the middle of the real estate bubble, and those plans are probably shelved for now.
Corn and renewable energy
from my archives. Green City Market produce.

Corn from a different farmers market, for the Chicago Chain.

My Spanish-translation skills are very poor, can anyone tell me what this article is about? Headline is Bio combustibles en Centroamérica, Bio Fuels in Central America.
Google Translation renders the first paragraph thus:
The production of so-called “green fuels” is linked to food insecurity in Central America. Guatemala, on the basis of sugar cane and African palm in large areas, has significantly increased production of ethanol and biodiesel, both exported mainly to the European Union. While this is not basic crops, the fact is that large areas of land previously owned by farm families devoted to corn and rice have been displaced by private firms that have intensified to generate crops for biofuels.

Ten to Fifty Dollar Fine for Littering
pretty sure I’ve seen this sign on Flickr before, but…

My photo featured at Chicago Public Radio

with proper credit assigned, a link to my website, and an email from the webmaster last night. Perfect, simple, and everyone’s happy.
You Lie
traffic streaks, Randolph Street
is “You Lie” going to become a catchphrase of the month?

My photo used by NBC Chicago
www.nbcchicago.com/news/local-beat/Post-Office-Buyer-May-…
I just happened upon the story (via EveryBlock’s news feed of my area), and thought the photo looked familiar. No url to either my website, or Flickr, so Google / iceRocket / Technorati didn’t find it.
My signature is visible (where the arrow is).
Oh well, I’m not angry, just annoyed. I realize NBC Chicago is part of General Electric, and if they chose to, they could ask permission before using photos, or at least give the photographer some Google link-love. In an ideal world, they would pay actual cash, but that is only in an alternative universe.
Baby’s On Fire
With apologies to Brian Eno.
Not quite sunset (about 15 minutes before), but the light was certainly streaming.

Setting up on Wacker Drive – TRI-X 400
photographing the photographer…
the assistant gave me a dirty look, but didn’t want to cross traffic to come chastise me (if that indeed was his intent).
Wells Bridge Number 1111

Wells and Wacker, to be exact about the location at least
