Erics Picture a Week Blog

This is my new site for my 2007 Picture a Week project. In 2006 I moved to a photoblog format and feel very comfortable with it. This site allows me to post more than one picture per week. Of course it tells if I don't keep up with the weekly posting. Also included is the archive for my 2005 Picture a Week project.

Location: City by the Lake, Illinois, United States

Just a regular guy wandering the many paths of life. I'm trying to document part of these travels through my photography and also express my creativity through woodworking and building things.

Week 26


The Fourth of July marks the coming of Evanston's yearly parade. Part of the tradition is to save your space as early as possible.

Week 26


This reminds me of Chicago in the winter, where everyone is trying to save their parking space. Free chairs anyone?

Week 25


One of the great stories from my college days was the time someone climbed to the top of the smokestack. Although I wasn't there to bear testiment to the event, I recently visited the scene to see for myself how high this thing really was.

Week 25


Upon closer observation, the smokstack is a lot taller than it looks.

Week 24


A look at the bees doing their thing in the hive. The exits and entrances to the hive were closed off to avoid unwanted interactions.

A favorite of the market is the kettle corn booth. The smell of freshly popped corn is always a draw for our family.

Saw this new camera at the mall. I'm wondering if this is film based or digital.

Week 22 Sunrise


With the temperatures bouncing around in classic Chicago fashion, we were treated to a misty morning to accent the sunrise.
