"When you see such photos, you can't help but wonder at just how sweet and sad and innocent all moments of life are rendered by the tripping of a camera's shutter, for at that point the future is still unknown and has yet to hurt us, and also for that brief moment, our poses are accepted as honest."

For dinner I made a simple and delicious pita pocket that consisted of humus, cucumber and tomato.

I spent Saturday wandering around the lakefront snapping photos. I don't quite know why, but I'm really drawn to the area behind the Shed Aquarium.

After grabbing a quick beer at The Gage on Michigan Ave., S and I had to rush over to a department store to buy warm clothing. Earlier in the day it was almost 80 degrees, but by the time we left the bar the temperature had dropped nearly 30 degrees (I think it was 46 degrees and raining). I was dressed in a t-shirt, sandals and cotton pants. You'd have thought we were tourists, and me with my camera didn't really build the case that we weren't tourists.
