Due to the screen size, it always amuses me a bit when I see someone taking a photo with a full size iPad. 

Holiday Art Walk 2013

A view of this evening's popular First Friday / Holiday Art Walk event in which a portion of Congress Street was closed off for pedestrians only. It was great to see so many people out and about enjoying the city on what turned out to be a relatively warm and rain-free evening.

#RememberHonorActME

Today was a beautiful summer day, made more enjoyable by the temperature only reaching the lower 70's today. I ended up taking a roundabout route home from work on my bicycle and went past some sort of rally happening in Monument Square. After dropping my bike off at home I went back and got a few photos of the event which went by the hashtag #RememberHonorActME. The event had several speakers from local organizations and nonprofits and touched upon issues relating to gun violence, racial profiling, the criminal justice system, and community safety.

Out in the Streets

Photographs with people in them tend to be more interesting and popular than my usual assortment of photos of inanimate objects, so it's nice to see more people out downtown due to the warmer weather.

Nemo the Blizzard: Round 3

The snow has stopped falling and the wind has subsided but there are many more photos to share. These two photos are from Friday, the first day of the blizzard:
