52Frames - Week 2 - Leading Lines

I've been through this terminal at O'Hare a thousand times and never thought about it in the context of leading lines until this week.  And with my penchant for street photography, was compelled to include a person in the frame.

Launch of a New Challenge

52 Frames - Week 1 - Self-Portrait

Since my photography has been sporadic the last few years, I was looking for some structure to jump start shooting regularly in 2020.  I found what looks to be a great challenge site, 52Frames.  Posting one shot a week, each with a different theme/subject.

Since street photography is my genre of choice, taking a self-portrait in the street environment made the most sense to me.  This shot was taken at the stairs leading to the “L” platform in downtown Chicago.

On cameras, I haven’t used my DSLR for about 5 years or my mirrorless M4/3 for about 2 years.  The iPhone camera has gotten so good, I rely entirely on that.  My intent is to shoot all 52 weeks with the 11 Pro (or its successor).

Thanks for viewing and taking this journey with me.

An awesome 7.5 mile hike with 1500' of climb. Actually harder coming down than going up.

12 Miles to go for a 100 Mile Weekend!

3rd leg of a 100 mile weekend; Lincolnshire to Independence Grove. Just after taking this shot, the rear tire went flat. No CO2 adapter and no pump. 3/4 mile walk to the nearest gas station to get air into the new tube. And then, a successful finish.
