I took my camera out this weekend for a lake shore walk.  I started at North Avenue beach and walked north up to Irving Park.  Then I walked around Wrigleyville a little bit.  Not many interesting shots…but a couple turned out pretty okay.

Urban Photography

Here are a couple cool articles I found talking about shooting urban landscapes. Quite honestly, I think urban photography is the main focus that got me interested in learning about photography. There is something I find extremely interesting about urban exploration. The way old brick contrasts with iron and steel and the wild vegetation that seems to sprout out of the concrete jungle.

In the very near future I will start posting some of my urban exploration shots from my new Nikon D60

Don’t Eat Del Rey Tortillas

March 6th, 2009 Posted in food&drink | | No Comments »

They have been linked to illness in Wisconsin and Massachusetts due to unsanitary production.

I for one am a tortilla junkie.  I stop by my local mercado almost daily for fresh tortillas.  I personally prefer el milagro.  But pick up del rey on occasion if they are fresher that day.  I’m scared of them now.  Read on…
