 James R Thompson Illinois Building*

*Architecture buffs find the Thompson Building marvelous...I suppose...even tho' I find it another example of tacky 70's design...but why I've included it in this post is because it's the first intentional lens flare I've captured...something I do enjoy creating.

Sunday Funnies: The World Is the Canvas

Um...does it really need a caption?

This week's bad joke:
What do you call a lion at the North Pole?

Sunday Funnies: A Brief Tale of Two Pants

For legal reasons, I do not promote graffiti or the defacing of property; for anecdotal reasons I love it when these kind of little gems present themselves. 

This week's bad joke:

Nostalgia is like a grammar lesson.  You find the presence tense and the past perfect.

Personally, I'm kinda tired of the over use of the word "random", but that's what we've got here...some random photos taken along the way...

 "Budding"

 This little guy was a little too interested in the cash registrar, while his parents were a little too interested in the price of their bill.  He knew I had a camera pointed at him, but gave me the classic little kid look that says, "Who me being naughty? If I don't look at the lady she won't see me."

Return of the Sunday Funnies

We haven't captured anything obviously funny, but I personally find this pretty funny in a scrappy politics kinda way...

Die Hard Politics

This week's bad joke:

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C. The Russians used a pencil.
