Week 16 Matt's Turn

This weekend, I took the boys fishing. Matt, my nine year old grabbed my camera and decided to take a few pictures. I set the exposure and reminded him how to focus and off he went. There was a flock of geese nearby, so these guys were his first subjects.

Week 15 Bicycle Riders

Every Sunday morning on Sheridan Rd. is a parade of bicycle riders making their way up and down the north shore. This week had the first warmup of the season, so traffic was a little heavier than previous weeks. These shots were taken from the bridge over the canal that feeds into Wilmette harbor.

Week 14 Vegas Baby

Spent the other week in my favorite town out west, Las Vegas. Did the usual golf and gambling thing and tried to take a few street scenes. It doesn't seem like many people are leaving Bally's

Week 14

The crowds were always around day or night. It doesn't look like too many of these folks did very well at the tables.
