Windows To The World Of Frunchroom Collective

Libertyville, IL

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of spending time at Frunchroom Collective to see Due Dolci make some beautiful music.  I was introduced to Frunchroom by my cousin and have been a frequent visitor since.  Great coffee & delectables and a comfortable, inviting atmosphere...everything you could want in a local coffee house.

Happy To Oblige

Mundelein, IL

Standing on the sidewalk and adjusting some camera settings before going to the Farmers Market, this little guy & his dad walked by.  "Can you take my picture?", asked the little guy.  Dad was on board.

Turn The Corner

52Frames - Week 32 - Leading Lines

EC: 4+ Lines

Strong reflections and the architecture of this building created leading lines for this challenge.  Just waited for a subject to turn the corner.

Day Into Night

Walking around searching for this week's 52Frames' Leading Lines shot, I noticed this reflection on the pavement leading to the setting sun. Thought it was a cool photo although not strong enough for the weekly challenge submission.

Family Reflection

Downtown Chicago

Celebrating Linda's and my 75th birthdays with the family.  As tradition has it, getting my family to stop for a photo is a major feat for which I take lots of crap.  Notwithstanding, I am grateful for their rare indulgence 🤣.
