@Kleen haha, thanks!

@grumpasaurus indeed! too many meetings tomorrow, but saturday AM also looks viable. going to be in san diego next week, but hoping for dry/mild weather to close out the year here!

@TheEddieShow I'm loving this ongoing sequence, Eddie. ❤️

It's that special time of year. ... when I realize I'm THIS close to beating my bike mileage total from last year, and scheme how to get in another 89 miles this month. #bikechi #cycling

@panchromaholic amazing

Wolf Lake, overcast, at 70mph #chicago #photography

Color photo taken semi-randomly out the passenger window while driving the skyway from illinois to indiana. In the lower part of the window, the guardrail keeping me out of the lake is visible. Above that, we see the embankment/shore in reddish hues. Above that, the lake and then the far shoreline and trees. The top third--the sky--is slightly green-tinted. The whole thing is heavily blurred in a left (the direction of car motion) to right fashion, resulting in a painterly, Impressionist look.

@GregArcus @grumpasaurus ok. so then this was clearly a guy doing biking therapy on a nice day staring confusedly at some other guys doing fishing therapy on a nice day and not recognizing their shared brotherhood.

@andre @BobHorowitz same. love it and wouldn't have guessed!

@grumpasaurus that helps, and explains why *I* was out. But I'm baselining my observation against days in the whole rest of the year, even when it's much much nicer.

Do any Chicago folks know why there would have been like 10x as many guys fishing at the USSteel inlet (~84th and lake shore) today, vs normal? Usually when I bike past there I see like 2 guys. Today there must have been 20. Wondering if some fish species is randomly there in Dec but not at other times.

Northwest of Portage, IN. #photography #monochrome

Black and white photo of a country home. The tones are mostly underexposed and shadow-ey. Even the sky is a fairly mid gray, and the snowy front yard maybe barely passes the 60% lightness mark. Across the sky, there is an interesting cross-hatching pattern of faint lines. The ones going diagonally up-and-right are electrical wires. The ones going the other diagonal are phantom pixels from foreground trees that blurred almost to invisibility because the car was moving as this shot was taken out the passenger window. The house is similarly blurred, but in ways that aren't uniform and leave certain parts captured at different offsets/times. The overall effect is like a house being swept away by the early stages of a tornado in a dream.

@StevePeterson Thanks, Steve! I appreciate your kind words :)

Stagecoach Rd. #photography

Color photo taken out a wet windshield, looking up a two lane highway with snow on either shoulder and a clump of gnarly leaf-less trees in the midground, as the road disappears over a. little ridge.

@patillas Thanks!

Had to check my RAW file. It was f/22 at 1/20s. I shoot with a Sony a6000 and this was a 55mm prime Zeiss lens.

❄️ ⚡🚶‍♀️‍➡️#chicago #photography

Photo of a pedestrian crossing a street in a snowstorm. She is blurry and out of focus, and the slow shutter speed makes the snow streak diagonally across the image like brush strokes, giving a dreamy, hazy quality to the image. Inexplicably, there is a neon reflection between her feet that looks like a red lightning bolt--presumably a reflection, but of something not in the rest of the frame.

@alterelefant kind of you to say! Thanks, Frank!

@pauladieterman 😍

Scenes from SW Chicago / NE Indy. Yesterday @ Noon. The first two shots are from Stagecoach Rd, near Portage, one of my favorite drives in the area. #chicago #photography
