Fire escapes – diptych

January 28, 2011/9 Comments/in Photo walk Chicago/by

I salvaged these from my photo archive for this diptych post 😉

Shot these fire escapes behind tall apartment buildings on Wabash Ave. in downtown Chicago during my trip up there in December 2010.

Quinoa retake

I told you it’s coming 😉

So redid my shot on Quinoa this evening and I’m quite satisfied with the outcome.

Quinoa

Picked a box of Quinoa on our ritual trip to Trader Joe’s last evening 😉

I was drawn by the multitude of colors and texture in this grain and decided to go with it as a subject for today’s post.

Overall, I am not pleased with this composition. I think it came out flat – had it been about a year ago I might have been pleased with this post. I may have to come back and try redoing this subject with a different composition in the next few days.

Clutter?

That’s a macro shot of exposed roots on our Arabian Jasmine plant. I like the cluttery feel in this shot.

I did find it interesting to see new shoots coming up from the exposed root system.

Half a dozen cookies to break my resolution…

Yup homemade cookies and milk…that’s the kind of day it has been 😉

On a snow day…

Another snow day here is St. Louis area.

I had to go visit a friend on this snow day and as I was leaving his house, noticed the snow fall through his glass door and did notice the framing and wreath on his door as seen from his entryway.

I knew I will have to do a b/w PP when I shot this.

I hope it’s warm where you are. I think I am getting tired of this gray day and wintry weather.
