• Eye-rises

  

  Today I went for a walk and packed my 13mm f1.8 Sony GM. It makes capturing big pieces like this a breeze. I was less than 4 feet away from the wall to snap these gorgeous blue eyes.

• Silver Road

  

  Millennium Park in Chicago is full of interesting structures and scenes, beyond the iconic Bean. I also found this funky scaled bridge that reminded me of the Wizard of Oz’s Yellow Brick road.

• Honesty

  

  Camera Lens Aperture Shutter Speed ISO Sony A7R III Zeiss Batis 85mm f 5.6 1/160 Sec 100 Transit systems, and by extension (pun intended), transit stations are always fascinating to me. If they were pitched today you’d no doubt see much opposition, yet thousands and thousands of people rely on transit to get around every

• Pampered

  

  Camera Lens Aperture Shutter Speed ISO Sony A7R III Zeiss Batis 40mm f 2.2 1/320 Sec 800 Whenever I see a pet all snuggled in like this on transit I like to imagine that the rest of their routines are just as pampered. This little cutie was spotted on line 1.

• Wander the Halls
