Kow Kow
Thursday morning, 2/25/10.
An example of the large suburban Chinese restaurant, Kow Kow has been around since 1949 and at this location since 1989. Never been there.

Leaning Tower
Thursday around 6:15pm, 2/25/10
This is one of those scenes that I've driven past for years and years while never finding it appealing enough to be photo worthy. Perhaps I should think again and have a second and third look.

New Year at Argyle
Saturday 12:57pm, 2/20/10
The Chinese New Year parade at Argyle still has the firecrackers. However now they have to be lit by pyrotechnic professionals.

Somewhere on Grand
Tuesday, 8:27am, 2/16/10
Rolled down the window, tried to take a hot, found out the 4GB card was FULL, previewed shots, deleted one and the grabbed a shot while traffic started rolling again.
Luckily the AF landed on the wall so it's in focus.
Pulaski near North
Tuesday around 8:15am, 2/16/10
Just north of North Ave. on Pulaski. A banquet hall which has seen better days.

Wentworth Ave. around 2300 South
Sunday afternoon at 12:59pm. 2/14/10
I had forgotten that Chicago Chinatown's New Year Parade always runs north up Wentworth around 1pm which ends up having me face the sun. And of course this day was a sunny day, though still below 32F. Finally the sun worked in favor for this shot.

S. Halsted (about 3200)
Sunday 2:00pm. 2/14/10
Kind of a black & white color picture. Back in the undergraduate photo days, we would often discuss methods or combining black & white with color imagery in the same print. Back then it was not very effective with the print technology available at that time. Of course these days, it's a snap with the computer. Finding this window bathed in light on S. Halsted was thus a treat and reminded me when solutions were not as easily found.
Of course, the real purpose of this trip was to find food, with our original destination being Ed's Dumpling House, with the intended goal being Xiao Lung Bao, the dumpling with the soup inside. The Chinatown new Year's Parade had just ended and since this is off the beaten path of Chinese restaurants I had hope that Ed's would be half empty on a Sunday afternoon. But with a flow of customers entering and none leaving, we were told that the wait would be at least an hour. Our desire for the mouth-watering dumplings sank and we retreated to to Plan B or where we can find something to eat that's half decent. That turned out to be 123express.

Door Knob on S. Racine
Saturday around 3:30pm. 2/13/10
Big Monster Toys. They design toys for a lot of major toy companies. Their monster door breaks up the monotony of lofts and condos on S. Racine Ave. There are probably some fun minds on the other side of that door. I'm too serious...

Snow
Friday 5:12pm. 2/12/10
Around 1100 W. Jackson. If you knew what was on the other side of that fence around last August/September 2009, you might have known that there was a circus based on horses going on there. I don't know how this part of the fencing collapsed but I can picture the horses of Cavalia running through.
