I definitely recommend going to Cozy Noodles. No, I don't know anything about them, but I want live vicariously through you. Go & take photos of your food!

As befits a Cub fan, part of me is enchanted and uplifted.

The other part of me thinks that sign is likely to be older than me. ;)

I absolutely heart how these photos aren't just the obvious--glimpses into your day, but through the cute little narratives are also glimpses into your thinking. As always, I'm grateful for everything you share.

You may have eaten lunch, but you didn't eat the pepperoni! (It didn't count as food anyway)

Great story. As strange as it seems, traditions like these are great. They unify all the people who ever went to school there. Thanks for the story.

They were just amused by the students with toothbrushes, of course.

Wow, the inanity of this is just strange and stunning. I would love for them to block off other squares of the floor that are not for walking on. Maybe change them once a quarter, just for giggles.

It's his borrowed "bling-bling". Would have been better with one of his Rolexes, but it's not like he wears those every day.

Nice shot, I like the contrast between the shadow of the mountain and the brightness of the light coming through the clouds.

Cute guy! And more importantly, you framed this so perfectly. Great composition!

Hey, it's fun!

I tell people the wagon is for better weight distribution. In fact, it's just so I can get tires and stuff to the event :)

All of those are true, excepting (possibly) his taste in movies :)

He looks kind of insane there.

I'm going to print some out and post them on his office.

I feel this one is better than the previous one because with the added foliage and background, as a viewer I am still anticipating to see what everyone is so engrossed in. i feel as though the mystery is worth the "thing" sunset in this case. The facial future loss is take over by the background and the body language. Its the subtleties that win over.

Just my thought but, I think this is better than the first. The sky is more relevant here because you can see cloud formations, whereas in the last one it was just white. The details in the mountains are better as well. I think you're right that some of the detail is lost in the expressions, but the gestures are clear enough I think. But these are just my thoughts.

I like the composition quite a bit because of the mesmerized expressions of them all. I'd like to see a sharper focus and perhaps also to level that hand-rail a little, which is now sloping upwards. What else: well, if it were me I might try to crop the top until just above their heads and then crop the left side until maybe 1 1/2 inches behind the woman in the black shirt. This would tighten it even more, and yet still leave that wide open expanse on the right side to make clear what they're seeing. Just a thought, but please ignore if you disagree. It's all very subjective (which is what makes it fun).

I've been flipping back and forth between the two photos and decided I think this one is stronger. When you can see more of the foreground and the clouds are lighter, they actually just prove a distraction. The emphasis I really like here is the colors of the sky and the play of light and dark in the clouds (exemplified by the clouds in the upper left).

Beautiful shot.

This looks like an amazing photo and viewing it in my web browser just isn't doing it justice b/c I can't see the whole thing at once. Really beautiful, hon.

Claire (United States)

I think this one looks nice too, but the one with the dark mountain is more striking

wow... COOL, AWESOME, FANTASTIC!!

Beautiful. I don't think the foreground is boring at all -- indeed, I'd like it blacker so it's only a silhouette. I would like to see how the mountain's silhouette can work with the scene. Nice shot.

Wow absolutely amazing picture. I got some great pictures myself similar to this one, if you want to check them out I'll be more than happy :)

Nice looking shoes!

Angelique (United States)

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:34:25 EST

I definitely had not seen the shoes previously. Unlike your family members, however, I am distraught at the idea of unworn shoes on the table. My mother always told me this was bad luck!

I so miss those clouds :(

Wonderful job on the texture!

agreed.. that cloud is awesome... and it's a success Tasha.. I really liked it...

Great Bean pics, Tasha! I really enjoyed them! I definitely have to get back up to Chicago sometime! I want to check out that park because I know that they have some other sculptures around and I want to visit the Navy Pier again!

Sweet! I love this image! I love the warped skyline. You know, this might look totally off the hook if you shot it at night.

Aww, Hon, you are always a pleasure to be around.. even in the mornings. Plus I have a quote from you at 7:42am - "I am Happy" :)

Bill Weiss (United States)

And here I would have just described you in the morning (sans sleep, etc) as "surly".

Your description is probably better.

This is the most amazing pic I've seen from you. I'm serious. Composition: amazing. Color and lighting: amazing. Damn girl!

Another wonderful capture. Interesting how the distortion of the bean prevented your reflection. But I do love the reflection, clarity and color of the cityscape. Truthfully I find yesterdays image ideal since the entire bean is visible and the buildings are a backdrop. I understand there were restrictions in this shot, it is still a great photo. I must visit this bean some day.

Excellent capture, funny story.

Ironically I was just talking about the bean yesterday. I've never seen it in person.
Fabulous shot, I like the two people there. I can understand you wanting the shot with no one around, I would be that way too but now that you have this perhaps more people will add interest.
It was well worth getting up early for.
I love this bean, so interesting. Will look for tomorrow's image.

Laurie (United States)

Fri, 30 May 2008 17:21:36 EST

The reflections off that thing are amazing! The addition of people does add a little something to the image! Nice job! Can't wait to see tomorrow's image! =-)

yes - great story behind the photo... the lonely bean looks really cool and the reflection is nice as well...

Kenton (Canada)

Thu, 29 May 2008 23:42:13 EST

What a great shot. Is this bean thing supposed to represent something? Or is it just an art piece?

Laurie (United States)

Thu, 29 May 2008 18:34:39 EST

Thanks for the effort because it's a wonderful pic! I like the story behind it, too. I love Chicago and I hope to get back to it one day! Where is exactly is this Bean located? Once more, nice job on the Bean! =-)

Mel (United States)

Thu, 29 May 2008 14:06:49 EST

You did it! I think both pics (with and without people) are awesome!
