23:365 Sketchy Surroundings

By far one of the sketchiest locations i've ever taken a photo before. I went out around midnight, and took this around 12:30-12:45. it was on a deserted looking road that went only to this place, and had but one streetlight. It was terrifying. Not to mention it isn't in one of the best neighborhoods either...

pretty much got out of the car, setup the tripod, took (literally) 4 shots, ran back to the car and sped off. :)

i'm happy with the results though, and that's all that matters .

20:365 "You're not wearing a tie today? you don't even look dressed!"

Worked 10 hours today on a single project. Lots of problems with it, however none of the problems were due to me, which is always a bonus! Plus i got 2 hours OT, which rocks.

10:365 Wrigley Building

Took the Metra into downtown Chicago today and did some supreme wandering. Made a stop at Qdoba for some lunch, then went into an art gallery, and stopped in a few stores on Michigan avenue! I wanted to take more photos, but unfortunately it was really cold and i forgot gloves!! but anyway, it was an excellent day and the train ride was really relaxing!


Enjoy!

7:365 Kit lens

Had a headache all day at work today, plus it took me a long time to get home because illinois drivers drive really slow in the snow. So i didn't spend much time on this one... but at least it's something.

6:365 When life gives you lemons...

Got some cool new argyle drinking glasses last night so i figured it would be a fun subject to shoot! First time i've done any water splash shoots, so I'm relatively pleased with the results.

In light of it being the first day of my internship, I figured I'd take a picture of my buisiness attire. :)

3:365 Vinyl

So, a while back while sitting at work I started making a list of things I could take pictures of for this project, so I decided to take one of the ideas off of the list for today's photo!

I took a bunch of pictures of this, and had a hard time deciding between a few, so I'm posting a couple :)

2:365 New Home

Spent all day today moving to my place in Gurnee, IL. As some of you know I'm starting an internship down here, so this is where I'll be living for the next 8 months. It seems decent enough, we'll see for sure the longer i'm here though. 

My photo, as you probably guessed, is my hotel room/ apartment in Gurnee.

1:365 Specs

Well, it looks like today is day one. Had a sub-par night (new year's eve) although I shouldn't be surprised. New year's always seems to be somewhat of a let down for me, so i guess i should learn to expect it. Didn't really have anything in mind for today's photo, so i just grabbed the nearest thing to me and started shooting a little, unfortunately my flash trigger's batteries died before i could take too many shots. Didn't turn out so bad though.

Here's to the New Year!
