Photography for me is a reflection of how I see the world, and being limited by my camera's capabilities has allowed me to focus on just the framing and seeing of the shot. When I drove by this sign I saw this very image in my mind and needed to capture it. I had to wait a bit for the clouds to break, because I really wanted the rich blue sky to be present. I like how it turned out.

Giving yourself a photography assignment is a great way to keep active and help with creativity. Today's assignment was Education. The idea of this photo came to me after asking my son what he thinks of when I say the word "Education," and is first response was "books." All day I had been thinking about taking photos of buses, school buildings, and street signs and had not once thought of photographing a book. The bright sunlight and the cloud formations made for a terrific backdrop, and this was one of many photos taken of the book in flight. My son was nice enough to help me destroy the book by continually throwing it into the air.

Skyway Toll

Skyway Toll

Chicago is one of my favorite towns. This shot was obtained on the Chicago Skyway yesterday. This toll will cost you a whopping $3 to go a couple of miles, but it brings you right into one of the most breathtaking skylines.
