Sometimes, no matter how much style a person has, a camera can capture the robotic movements of our arms and legs.

Wishbone Woman, Lakeview

This photograph was taken 2 weeks ago as I was walking past the Wishbone Restaurant on Lincoln Avenue in West Lakeview.  I wasn't expecting much from this one, but since I still had my camera out I was prepared.  I like the reflections of the elements with the red-haired woman centered.  The Wishbone makes for a great backdrop for street photography with the mural below the windows and the colorful lighting fixtures in the restaurant.

The Chicago Photography Center will be having their 2nd annual open house on January 4th - 7th from 6:30 to 9p.  As a current member, I will be there taking advantage of a few of the free workshops.  They will range from tutorials on street photography to Multi-image HDR processing.  The CPC is located in Lakeview at 3301 N. Lincoln Avenue in the building above.  This photograph was shot from the ground using a gorillapod on a cold night about a month ago. 

West Lakeview

Over the past two months the Lakeview Chamber of Commerce held a photo contest of scenes representing West Lakeview, which is the area bounded by Racine to Ravenswood and Irving Park to Diversey.  My submission is the 6 corners of Ashland, Lincoln, and Belmont.  Check out the Chamber of Commerce Flickr page here.

This is Belmont
