  • Mysterious Children Statue, 5 December 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Biking by the Sulzer Regional Library on Lincoln Avenue I noticed the, already strange, statue of children on a log had been fitted with some books, to make it look like they were reading, so had to snap a photo. In researching for…

  • Ultimate Dunking Set, 4 December 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   One of the silliest things we own, a set of Oreo mugs with a holder and tongs specifically for dunking. Also, the Oreos in this are the ‘Trolls World Tour’ Oreos that have popping candy in them, which are truly a bizarre experience.

  • D-O, 3 December 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Beth Ann got me this D-O tiki mug for my birthday and while ‘Rise of Skywalker’ is far from my favorite film, a droid with PTSD/anxiety is just a little too relatable to pass up. I love him.

  • Web Orders, 1 December 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   I tweeted out a link to this piece and wound up with a truly flattering number of web orders of my print work suddenly. A very nice surprise. I’m truly flattered by every sale.

  • Sugar Skull – Take 2, 30 November 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   A second pass of trying to photograph the sugar skull planter in the window. This time I overestimated the macro photo abilities of the SLR 680.

  • Uptown Pizza & BBQ, 28 November 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   At the corner of Wilson and Kenmore Avenues in Chicago you will find Uptown Pizza & BBQ. I’ve been meaning to check this place out for years and finally did it by ordering the ‘Thin Crust Taco’ pizza, which is a feast unto itself.…

  • Cherry Pie, 26 November 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Here is the delicious cherry pie from Café Selmarie that I was picking up the day prior. Maybe it’s the fact that I haven’t had pie in many months but it was possibly the best cherry pie I’ve ever had.

  • Christmas Tree in Lincoln Square, 25 November 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Biked over to the square to pick up pie for Thanksgiving from Café Selmarie and caught a glimpse of this beauty.

  • Pork Chorizo Meatballs & Pepper Rice, 24 November 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Just another Blue Apron dinner. They don’t sponsor me but I’d happily take their money if they wanted to. Call me Blue Apron team!

  • CSA Delivery Bandits?, 23 November 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Tomlinson and his girlfriend Libby came by to drop off left over veggies they had. Unfortunately the flash didn’t fire twice so this is what we get.
