Those Moody Blues

While I was looking through photographs for this color post, I found it a little ironic I had so many shots with blue the central color...compensating for the lack of the hue in nature...possibly...

'Harring In Pieces'

' Waiting Memorial'

'Jacob's Ladder'

'Warm Wacker, Cool Chicago'

Late Lament


Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent


Impassioned lovers wrestles as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young


Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decided which is right 
And which is an illusion?
~Graeme Edge from the song Nights in White Satin

Things Looking Down

Mother used to say, "Don't look at your feet when you walk.  You're going to trip."  I say, "Look!"  You'd be surprised what you find.

Safe Harbor & The Dream City

It's not what I knew first...it's not the ocean...but somehow I find comfort standing at the harbor looking towards the lake and the city so peaceful.

 "Chicago Breaking"

 "Kind of Blue"

 "Fire & Ice"

"Mood Indigo"

Life Finds A Way

Is it bad for the structure, sure, but there's something wonderful about finding Mother Nature in the most unusual places.

To & Fro: What I See

I enjoy living in a large city, because 1.) there's all kinds of things hidden both in lost corners and in plain sight; and 2.) the smallest shift of lens or posture you wouldn't believe it's a photo taken in it...
