One of the things I love most about my city is that after stealing away the Boeing HQ's from Seattle, we quietly slipped into town one night and stole the Space Needle, too!

Interesting set. LOL I thought the same with the space needle. I love the randomness. Great set.

Cbautz, what kind of camera do you use? it seems you're kind of into this whole photo thing too... but i think maybe you're interested in quality pictures?

i'm obsessed with grainy and out-of-focus pictures and stuff like that. i try to use a wide variety of cameras from polaroids, my cell phone, vintage range finders, plastic toy cameras, this old 120mm, a 1980's 110mm, a cheap 4mp digital camera, and a 10.2mp nikon d200. i don't care if i'm 'good' at taking pictures, i just really like the way a certain texture on a picture can give what your looking at something different... anyway, glad you 'love the randomness'

Sweet. I'm digging the graininess.
Are those the Calumet Mountains down on 130th St? Some of those might have been from the McHenry Range. I think I saw Mt. Bolingbrook.

I like the one of the AT&T tower.

Do I see a Honda dashboard in there? Could it be a Del Sol?

i like the grainy look too, but sometimes it's just crap. i see some nice shots above and some that might pass for "modern art."
