Area 53 (2011) - Photo 05 - Curious Fawn

This week Cale and I got our first chance to go out and take some photos together.
We headed to Ojibway Park in hopes to catch a glimpse of a deer or two is we were lucky.
Our wish was granted and at one point we were surrounded by them.
Here are some of the best of what I got, but I personally like Cale's worst better than my best.
But the fawn in my pic of the week is definitely a cutie.
Note the deer in the second photo has a broken leg it was favouring the whole time.
We felt sorry for it but there's nothing we could really do about it either.
I might actually like that photo better than my first one, it has a kind of classic look to it or someting, I don't know, what do you think?
Anyway, I hope you like em.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 04 - Michigan & Wacker Intersection (Chicago)

I wasn't able to take any photos this past week and Cale was cool with me posting a picture that was taken the week prior, also from Chicago.
This is an open exposure I took of the Michigan and Wacker intersection almost right outside the doors of the Hard Rock Hotel where we stayed.
It was freezing, but I sat on the cold concrete long enough to get this shot with a bus, some cars and all three colour street lights lit up.
Note the famous clock building on the left and the Chicago Times building on the right side of the street.
Enjoy.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 03 - Chicago Shines At Night

My second offering of the year is a panaramic photo I took of Chicago's skyline at night from outside of the aquarium on the city's waterfront.
I took a ton more photos in Chicago but I'm without time to edit and go through them all like I want to. Sorry.
I hope you like this one. I'm actually realy excited about it.
It's the third major city night skyline I've done in less than a year.
Enjoy.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 02 - Chicago (Theater) Shines So Bright

So I'm late to start this year.

Life has been exhausting and the holiday wasn't exactly that.

I did manage to go to Chicago with my girlfriend, and despite being really sick for most of the trip, I was able to get out a bit and snap a few photos.

Most easily was the old Chicago Theater on State Street.

I love old theaters and city history. This marquis says it all. I love it! And it was right around the corner from the hotel.

I'm going to post my photo from this Monday that just passed by tomorrow sometime.

Once I'm caught up I hope to stay on top of things.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 01 - Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

I went to see a performance of Disney's Mary Poppins at the Detroit Opera House. It's the only photo I took over the last week of the holidays and this is actually taken with my iPhone. It's a panaramic before the show started and all the lights went out. There was no photography allowed during the show but I scrambled to get my phone out to take a picture of Mary as she flew up into the balcony only a few rows in front of our seats with a giant spotlight on her. Unfortunately the light went out on her before I was snap it. So this is my 'photo of the week' to kick off Cale and mine's second year of AREA 53. I hope you enjoy! t Click here to check out Cale's photo(s) of the week.
