Truer Words Were Never Spoken

.
A Newer Bathroom

Some last images about urban ups and downs from the weekend in Chicago. Above, a middle-aged apartment building in Hyde Park gets rehabbed and searches for new tenants. Below, this store in the Logan Square neighborhood remains open although the sign has fallen on hard times.

Fun thing to do today: two noted photographers and teachers, David Hobby, author of The Strobist lighting blog, and Joe McNally (check his blog, too), are in St. Louis for the last stop on the Flashbus tour. It's a day of education on the use of small flashes (sometimes several of them at once) in photography. Images tomorrow.

cette vieille enseigne en b&w rend tres bien, c'est bete qu'il y est une voiture moderne devant, sinon on aurait pu se croire a une autre epoque

It does look like you had captured Chicago in a mood for black and white photos.

A working bathroom gets you cleaner.

That seems like a so fifties ad.

In my new old apt, the bathroom could use a little reno. I've done about all I can do with a toothbrush and Clorox gel pen.
