One of my New Year's resolutions has been to take more photos. More photos, less timidly, more often. So, while marching to work yesterday, I decided to break my brisk pace to unabashedly point and shoot.
I cross Chicago and Michigan almost every day! The street itself was rather dim, so I have no picture of the bustling shoppers.
These signs are all over the place. My first impulse is to cover my head, duck, and run away screaming. No, really...
I try to look focused and confident when I hustle along the busy sidewalks. But sometimes the pretty buildings distract me, and I end up looking like a tourist. A badly dressed tourist, for that matter.
Thank you, Panera Bread, for funding my edu'ma'cation. I will forever be a bread snob.
falling ice?
ReplyDeletewhat the heck!
that sounds frightening!
ps.
ReplyDeletethe pictures are really pretty.

don't be afraid to look like a tourist, if this is what you get from the experience :)
That is a GREAT resolution, and one of mine, too!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog. It is on my life-travel list to visit Chicago one day (I'm from Dallas!). My husband is in seminary at Reform Theological Seminary and I love, love, love your blog header and your adorable engagement photos!
ReplyDeletePretty pictures Faith! i feel like a tourist sometimes too, but I stopped caring because when I see someone taking a picture of something, I don't think they're weird. They're just taking a picture! :)
