on a pirate ship
photos of last night's adventure brought to you in spite of the fact i should definitely already be getting ready to leave. :)
i don't understand the fireworks setting on digital cameras. it keeps the shutter open longer, which i can only assume is supposed to give you a better chance of actually catching the firework. but it also gives every fireworks photo streamers (fingers? you know, the elongated snakes of light). i like the streamer effect, but sometimes you just want a quick shot of the action. these were shot with my little camera because i wasn't sure i wanted to carry around my big one. next time i will bring the big one.
and you can't really tell in the photo, but yes, i'm wearing my cubs shirt & frank's got on his sox jacket. funny how many people commented when we were walking around navy pier together. (beth, you can see, is not declaring her baseball loyalties in this photo. so for the purposes of last night - she was switzerland.)

I love the fireworks pictures. I think they look like you took them like that on purpose. Very artistic. Also, the skyline pic is beautiful.
Who's Frank?
frank's the guy in the picture with me & beth. ;)
we work in the same office. he's one of the good guys.
I imagine it's just me, but those fireworks look like sperm.
speaking of that (seriously) I went to the field museum last weekend looking for the green house exhibit. I'm a moron, because that exhibit's at the museum of science and industry. Anyway, since I was there, i checked out field museum stuff instead. In the native american areas, they have robes that have been painted. Most of the stuff they have is post colonization, because that's when some white guy was there to take the stuff. You can see in some of the paintings on the robes that they are drawing people getting shot by arrows and by bullets. The bullets look like the red squigglies in the firework photo, like they might not have flown straight, or because you couldn't see them, it wasn't clear what path exactly they took.
