It’s fun. And to keep it from getting boring, I like to spice it up with short trips to places like Milwaukee. Milwaukee. When Milwaukee is a short trip away, that’s when you know you live in the Midwest, which, if I haven’t said it before, is not something I ever anticipated happening. I must...

Danish Visitors & Birthday (A post delayed)
With the craziness of the end of summer term and my laziness since the term ended on Tuesday, I just remembered that I had failed to even look at pictures taken when Jan & J-A were visiting earlier this month to celebrate my 32nd birthday with me. A perfect activity for a Sunday afternoon. The...
Dear Denise & Katie B,
I blame you two, with all your raving and suggesting and urging. “Dexter! You must watch Dexter!” “Put it on your Netflix right away!” “Sooooo good!” You were right. Best, Kelly PS. Not sure I like Rita in Season 2 though…Two episodes in and the jury’s still out. PPS. The closing credits music is amazing. ...
Go ahead. Be jealous.
In the past 48 hours I’ve changed out of my pjamas once. And it’s not because I’m depressed. I’m on summer vacation. I can already tell, though, that this lounging about the house, surfing the web, reading books, watching movies & tv shows online, well, it’s gonna get old. I know, I know! It hardly...
Mackinac Island, MI: Finally!
Today I turned in my final paper and took my last final of the summer term. Ah, the sweet taste of freedom (until August 31)! This afternoon has been decadent with time to lazy about in my comfy chair, watch an episode of Dexter online (creepy…but interesting), and finally get around to editing photos taken...
Photowalk 09: Chicago’s Historic Loop
Yesterday I joined photographers from all over the state to walk the streets of Chicago with our cameras. Some brought out the big guns, toting several SLR cameras with behemoth lenses while others kept it simple with a pocket-sized point-n-shoot. Whatever camera one had, the cameraderie was the same and it was great fun to...
This weekend…
…Is my last weekend working at the residential treatment center. I wish I could say that I was sad about it but I’m not. The last several months have been particularly challenging and only reinforced that this is not the population I want to work with long-term. So just 11 hours today and 8 hours...
The Sartorialist Guide
J’adore The Sartorialist, a fashion loving New Yorker who snaps the uber-chic everday man or woman (and a few models & fashion glitterati) on the streets of SoHo, Paris and other sophisticated cities around the world. If you ever hope to get photographed by Sart, you may want to take a look at this guide...
Carol: A Photoswap
I realize this post is technically out of order and friends who are eager to see photos of events prior to the photos about to come may feel slighted. But please, don’t feel that way. Blame Carol. She started it. You see, yesterday Carol (a local wedding photographer and, coincidentally, also in the same program...
The City after fireworks
Many photos to go through from the past two weekends – Mackinac Island & Danish visitors – but this one snapped walking back to the train after the city’s fireworks display on the 3rd caught my eye, the Chicago skyline bathed in a smoky glow amplified by the Metra railway lights.
