I have been hesitant to include pictures in my blog, mostly because so few opportunities for photos present themselves at school, and I spend a lot of time at school. However, I like the idea of conveying experience through image, and despite the humble nature of these photos, they are real-time glimpse of my time here. In no particular order, enjoy!
This is a photo from one of several basketball games I attended. Five of my students played on the JV team. (We rocked in this game. Go Eagles!)
The Windy City takes St. Patrick’s day seriously...by dying the Chicago River crazy green! My cousin came in town and suggested we go (I hadn’t even known it was happening!) and it was a very festive event indeed. We came a little late, but we elbowed our way through masses leaving the river to get to this vantage point. I don’t know how good the thousands of gallons of dye are for the overall health of the river, but everyone was quick to say that it is “vegetable-based dye.” No prob, right?
This just got so bad I had to take a picture.
The famous steel jelly bean in Millennium park. (I’ve heard others say that it’s a kidney, but I this its likeness to a jelly bean is uncanny, and it makes the sculpture so much more timeless and lighthearted.) On a sunny day, there are much better photos to be had. It’s interesting to me that, as a graduation gift from high school (!), a close friend and black-and-white-film photographer/enthusiast developed and gave me an almost identical photo. It now hangs on my wall, lending a strangely prideful and appropriate style to my apartment.
Dinner tonight.
I want you to add a picture of your "raw" sweater, too!
