The Cook

The last 5 images including this one are part of an on going series of portraits that I have been working on. These latest images were taken of an old friend who now works in a small "grease joint" in my hometown Wilmette, IL. I'm interested in photographing people in their work environment because its where people, like it of not spend a lot of their time. Time spent at work sometimes 10+ hours a day in their environment almost becoming religious in a way. The work place turns into pretty much a second home.

Barn

Color Scheme

A house I found while walking around Evanston. It shows hope that is will be restored. Lets hope so they surely don't make them like you used to.....

Rural America

This is it. The war in America is in the heartland. Where subdivisions are taking over farms and farmland and taking away America's soul.... Its a war that's being lost slowly over the years. Instead of revitalising small towns these gross subdivisions are taking over and who knows when its going to stop......probably won't. A shame

Urban Fresh

What does "Urban Fresh" have to do with the city producing food? Should it be something like "Rural Fresh"? I just kinda find it funny...

Informed

Found this while walking around my neighborhood.

Brick Work

I was walking my friends place in Kansas City, when I saw this amazing brick work on the side of a building. You just don't see this type of attention to detail on many modern buildings. Its more like lets see how fast we can build them and for how cheaply can we built them. Many modern buildings lack a sense of style which I think starts with attention to detail that many people over look. This type of brick work is an art form in itself that just adding so much character to the buildings exterior.

I've never been in a cooler bathroom than this one! I wish my bathroom at home was a half as cool as this one. While driving on Route 66 in IL on my way to Kansas City I made a few stops along the way. The "Polka Dot In" was one of the first stops, a totally throw back place from the 1950's in Braidwood, IL. I had to have lunch there which was actually pretty good. It was kinda dead in inside not many people then again it was raining and was a Tuesday afternoon. I'm sure in the summertime this place probably is jumping. Its just one of those types of places that you just don't see much anymore a shame really. If you ever are up for just having to go somewhere random this would be a great place to start. Route 66 is full of these types of places I'm sure and I'm in the process of discovering them its been a pretty interesting ride so far I'll be posting more images from Route 66 soon.
