I'm not always the most patriotic person around. And I certainly don't approve of the current presidency, but there's a certain happiness in being proud of where you came from and making it yours. I'm from Chicago, I'm from Illinois. I go to uni here, I got to travel abroad here; and despite what I consider money issues, life's pretty damn good and that's what matters.
Again, I'm still outa town so comments, archives, and the like will continue on Monday! I'll continue to post via the scheduled posting tool.

This was one of things where I just saw it and instantly knew not only how I wanted to take the picture but what I would do with it when I got back. The lighting was great, the colors (and lack of) was fantastic, and I liked the angle as well.
EDIT: To get to the past posts click on older posts. I'll update the archive when I get back!
EDIT2: It's been pointed out to me that Up is a fitting title after following "Down" rather than "Fire Escapes".

Again, from Chicago. I swear I'll post other things but I've been busy helping out at home and getting my job (and now being at U of I!). :) New pictures this weekend I promise!

I know I've posted a few "dark" photos the past few days and thus I decided the need was there to lighten the mood. Again this is from downtown Chicago. Every time I look at this photo I can't help but laugh. Maybe it's a weird sense of humor, I'm not sure. Let me know what you think :)
EDIT: To see it in it's full glory (or at least not crunched up), just click the picture.
EDIT 2: I forgot to mention! I got my internship! It's with a company named Cummins-Allison. Pretty sweet :)

This is from when Elena and I traveled downtown to Chicago for a day. I have quite a bit of decent photos from that day that I hope to continuously post.
This one shows some antique effects along with a bit of desaturation.
TWO FOR FRIDAY!
Seems to be the start of a tradition here at A Divergent Perspective so I thought I should continue it. Plus this one again required almost no post processing other then level adjustment.
I visited Chicago the other day with Elena and had a great time walking around (though blisters came from awful sandals) and taking pictures. However, I was yelled at no less than TWO times for taking photos! One I almost understood because it was in Ogilvie (train) Station and I guess for security reasons I can see why (not really but I can see them making me stop)... though I took some in other areas of it anyways. But one time I was simply on the street taking a picture of a very cool lighting scenario occurring in an alley and the security guard yelled over loudspeaker! Needless to say I was pretty PO'd.
Also, don't forget to check out my other post Of Lights and Shadows for today and answer the italicized question!
