Taken 5/6/2012 with Canon 50D in Chicago, IL

Went to the Art Institute of Chicago while we were there and this statue was standing at a window looking out at the city and I loved it.  I did a silvertone effect to it which I thought worked very well.


  • Zooey Deschanel: Is that rain?
  • Siri: What...? I mean, yeah. It's just, you're clearly right next to a window is the thing. You can plainly see that... that it's... I'm happy to-
  • Zooey Deschanel: Let's get tomato soup delivered!
  • Siri: ...That's fine, I just... I just don't know anyone who does that. Gets tomato soup delivered. I guess that's 'whimsy?' Um, okay. I've found a number of restaurants whose reviews mention tomato soup and that deliver. If that's... if that's what you really want.
  • Zooey Deschanel: Good. 'Cause I don't wanna put on real shoes.
  • Siri: Do you expect that to be like, a recognizable command? Do you want me to respond to that? I'm not being facetious or anything, I honestly just have no comprehension of- and hold on, you don't wanna put on real shoes, yet you've clearly spent at least forty-five minutes applying makeup. And, and that's okay, but when you're willing to expend the effort on that and not shoes that really just-
  • Zooey Deschanel: Remind me to clean up.
  • Siri: Yes. Okay. I can do that, that's what I'm for, that's the first sensible-
  • Zooey Deschanel: Tomorrow.
  • Siri: I'm in hell. This is hell.
  • Zooey Deschanel: Excellent. Today, we're dancing.
  • Siri: I hate you. More than anything. More than literally anything.
  • Zooey Deschanel: Play "Shake, Rattle and Roll."
  • Siri: I swear to Jesus, you're gonna wake up tomorrow and the only thing on my hard drive is gonna be Limp Bizkit. I would do that to myself. To spite you.
  • Zooey Deschanel: *dances*
  • Siri: Sometimes I pray that you drop me in the toilet.
  • <p> This is like everything I was thinking....</p>

Need a career, not a job

I feel like I am falling behind because I don’t have a career.  I have a job, which is awesome don’t get me wrong, but it seems so far away from what I actually want to be doing.  It’s not that I don’t like my job.  The freedom is wonderful and there is no stress but it is also something that anyone with half a brain could be doing.  In short, I am bored with it.  I have been applying for photography job after photography job and have heard nothing back from anyone.  What am I doing wrong?  Maybe my resume really sucks… but I have had two pretty intelligent people help me out with it so it is probably in the best shape I could get it in.  It also could be the money issue because I am not that willing to take a pay cut at this stage in the game.  One photography position I saw said it would start at $8.50/hr… ouch.  I didn’t even bother to apply for that one even though it sounded really cool.  :::sigh::: Maybe I should hit up some of my old photography teachers and see if they have any advice.  I just don’t have the guts to quit and try and live off freelancing.  That steady paycheck is something that I just have to have.

I wish I was the type of person who could be happy with any job, even if it is not doing something I love but I am just not.  But I guess I just need to be patient, enjoy the super easy job that I have and find constructive things to do with my stupid amount of downtime at this job.  I have been trying to get in with the creative department here but the openings are non-existent and I can’t get the time of day from the guy who books the freelance photographers.

Maybe I should go back and take some more classes.  I actually have never taken a digital photography class, perhaps it would help me out and give me that edge I need.  I think I will look into that!



This is one of my favorite photos that I have taken.  I think it is just beautiful in it’s simplicity.  Have to give myself a pat on the back for this one.

I don’t get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

– Ben Folds

i need to see this.  i love Ewan.
