| haven't blogged in about a week. it didn't seem that long, but i'm in a funk. i have a huge backlog of photos to share, but i haven't felt like sharing anything. that, and i couldn't decide what to share. a lot of the backlog is stuff that's passed and is no longer relevant (for example, the Chicago Marathon has been over for over a month). but i shouldn't be lazy, so here's something to whet the whistle. hopefully it gets me outta me funk too.
a buddy of mine asked me to tag along on a fashion show shoot. as i was starting a mini vacation i decided to go with. it turned out to be a pretty good time. i'm more into the behind the scenes and preshow stuff much like i was more into the prewedding stuff as oppose to the actual weddings themselves. i got out of shooting weddings for that reason--i couldn't stand shooting 80% of the stuff i was shooting. but fashion is a different beast. it's hectic, but not as rigid as a wedding is. anywho--behind the scenes stuff. enjoy.

| if you're as tired of the Morton Arboretum as i am, then you'd be happy to know that this is the final post
what follows is some miscellany found on arboretum grounds
 Kettle Korn Cabin. maybe they should've also used a K to spell Cabin so then their initials can be...  their popcorn is supposedly both sweet and salty i wouldn't know. i'll have to buy some and try it next time
 i snuck around back to get a shot of the guy stirring the pot
 some plant life themed artwork. i am looking directly up at it

|  today's series of images just feature various areas of the Morton Arboretum that have a water element
 i wish i had done more in this area with the reflections | | |
|  we wandered over to the Japanese area of the Morton Arboretum where we discovered a big banzai tree
 the monkeys attacked
 he looks like he's either fishing or practicing drumming
 monkey yelling
 peek-a-boo
 i had a new macro lens with me. it's a 100mm f/2.8 it's really meant for tripod use so my images aren't as sharp as they can be the tree's movement from the wind wasn't helping either but i really just wanted to get a feel for the lens' closeness and depth of field
 some tiny Japanese pears
 and then they left
