PotD – Adhesive

Once again my untimely response to railed transport resulted in random wanderings.
Beware of This and That

Taste…
April 26th, 2008 ryan…he haz it.
Bugger has a history of teleportation, motives for which range from the basest of primal instincts:
- killing birds
- killin ur d00dz
- spite
- fresh napping territory
- spite
He’s been an inside cat for the duration and most of the time is content to look out the window, eat, and lounge in my general proximity. However, as he has historically proved, from time to time a deeper lust for The New takes over and he must have the most premium of whatever is at hand.
In this case a down-stuffed couch of wonder.
It just makes him happy.
PotD – Terra Firma

Pedal driven ambiance, flavored with a pinch Politic, provided by WorkingBikes.org over at the Daley Plaza for the Earth Day goings on. They seemed like nice lads and I can respect the cut of their gib.
PotD – See Me Tarry
April 20th, 2008 ryan
Filled up a couple of cards over at Rosehill Cemetery today while being baked to the color of a delicious sea dwelling crustacean. A few more series of similar exposure and I will no longer have a skin color measured in candlepower. Later I discovered the joy that is Adobe Bridge CS3 and there was much rejoicing.
Expect the darquest of the darq to be posted throughout the day tomorrow as I have many a shot of of the bare branches silhouetting the cloudless sky, weathered tombstones pocking the spring grass.
Howgoth? Sogoth.
Leaftovers
April 17th, 2008 ryan
Terrible, I know.
Shot while my morning shake was blending with borrowed point and shoot. The picture, not the shake. Blending. …Lord
These are posted mainly as motivation to crawl out of bed a bit earlier with my SLR and makeshift beanbag tripod, clothed in something other than my dress shirt and chinos. Like the capture from just a few inches over this was a blind place-the-camera-in-the-dirt and press the timer to steady. All the books are completely true regarding the best, often only, times to shoot anything out of doors. Freakin’ dawn.
These leaves are obviously left over from the deluge the trio of aged maples blanket the lawn with annually. I really like the exposed lattice-work interior, each one a mini mummy that is being violated by verdant growth as the weeds come to a fruitful bloom. I don’t think they’ll last much longer so maybe I should get on that, eh?
PotD – Vinyl OctoPod +1
April 17th, 2008 ryan
Vinyl sticker affixed to a utility box at the corner of Washington and Lasalle.
No clue how long the thing’s been there, I try to vary my route both to and from the dungeon and can’t say I’ve ever traversed the north eastern part of that intersection.
Technically not an octopod given that there are nine tentacles, the significance of which eludes me despite perusing many a site laden with no less than 1560 ocotoriffic items. Odds are for it being little else than a border. A clever, anatomically inaccurate border.

Clicked through the Chicago Street Art pool at flickr and got here. Proceeded to Novem Life, and mystery was solved.
