This is Howard, he lives on the street in Chicago, IL. He served in the U.S. Army for eight years, including a stint in Germany (where he became fluent in the language). Now he tells jokes on the street to get money to eat.

My first exploration of this gorgeous building. Of course, this being a Saturday, there wasn't much activity in what's probably a beehive during the week. Nevertheless, the elevator dude - since he's a little old to be called a boy - was zipping up and down in that gorgeous, but oh so rickety elevator.
As we bounced up and down like a yo-yo, I asked him if they'd ever replaced the cables over the past 130 years or so? "No, he said, they just added some duct tape and super glue where necessary..."
Hmmm, a smart-ass like that needs to be immortalized, so we set up an ambush for him on the 7th floor. The whole building is very dimly lit and I needed sufficient depth of field to bring out the interior details of the elevator. Since the EOS 5Ds is basically a daylight-only camera, I set the ISO at 400, which resulted in a very slow shutter speed of half a second.
It would have been a magnificent shot if he'd stood perfectly still, but that was obviously not a realistic expectation....
Shots like these are not the ones that keep you awake at night. As long as those cabled hold and the elevator dude doesn't suffer some other catastrophic event, I can go back and take this shot over again, armed with equipment that's better suited to the task, and a new plan.

East Alley, 5100 block of South Morgan.
One of several abandoned homes in the 5100 block of South Morgan. All of them apparently untouched by Amanda Williams and her "color(ed) houses" project. They could have saved quite a bit of time and money, since they only would have had to paint the boards on the windows and doors.
Frankly, I like these colored homes. The last thing I want to see is one of those boring, lilly-white frame homes. Back in the day when Upton Sinclair was snooping around the Back of the Yards, were all these homes painted white? Is it blue today because this neighborhood is no longer ethnic White, and has now become what Amanda Williams calls a "racially charged city space?"
Frankly, that's all a bunch of bullshit. The only thing that really matters is that this home is sitting empty, when someone should be fixing it up so they can move back in.
I imagine this home has seen good times as well as bad. People have raised families here for generations. Whatever injustice or inequality drove the last residents out, right now it's a resource that's being squandered. Do we really have to wait for another ten or twenty years until the whole block is ready to be bulldozed into oblivion?

Last night the East coast got hit with a huge snow storm. We dodged that one in Chicago. We decided to take a walk at Lake Michigan and it had these gigantic ice plates all bunched up together. They look so surreal.

Minus 5 degrees outside and amazingly, there are still bikes on the road... Even more amazing, bears riding bikes on the frigid streets of Chicago. Just goes to show that bears do it in the city too!

The photo was taken at the corner of Broadway and Bryn Mawr in Chicago, Illinois (Edgewater). He calls himself "The Man of Many Faces, The Screaming Wildman, Carl Bonafede".
I used ACDSee Ultimate 9.1 to crop slightly, adjust lighting, and boost contrast, vibrance and saturation.
