On My Way to Work…
Brought the camera with me today, to document the whole sensory deprivation tank experience. Walking to the train, I started snapping a few photos. And in the afternoon, I got a few more when going to the bank. Feels good to be using that camera again.

| Stopped to take this. It’s nothing more than some cable wire, but I got fascinated. I may turn this into my desktop at work. |
 |
| Got a slightly better shot of what’s below the platform, at the Damen stop. I’ve been wanting these crossbeam things in a picture for a while… not quite what I’m seeing, but it’s getting closer. |

| On my way back to work (from the bank), I looked into a building’s window and noticed some curvy columns. Intrigued, I stopped, doubled-back and went inside. At first, I thought all the columns in this place were curved (which would have been jaw-droppingly fantastic).
At the door, I ask the guy (guard?) if the building is a private residence or a business. When I tell him I want to take photos, he directs me to a woman sitting behind a security desk. When I ask her for permission, she looks at me and says "Oh, SURE! Go ahead, knock yourself out. And you might like to take a pamphlet, too." I look over, and pick up a nice 6-page handout about the R.R. Donnelley Building. The columns (entitled "Twisted Columns")… there must have been a few better name options out there than this. Anyhow, "Twisted Columns" was created by Ricardo Bofill, the building’s architect. Don’t get me wrong – I dig the columns immensely. I don’t think the name does it justice. |

| After walking inside the building, I noticed how high the ceilings were. And to top it off, a lot of the plants in the entryway were (at least to me), massive in height.
The sculpture is entitled "Three Lawyers and a Judge," and made by Xavier Corber?õ. To the left where the security desk is located. After I got done snapping these photos, I walked outside and just felt happy. I’m glad I was curious and stuck my nose inside the door. |
 |
| Rested my camera on a ledge, and grabbed a shot of the Wells Street bridge. I walk over this thing every day, to and from work. |
 |
| Outside the Merchandise Mart. There are always a bunch of displays in the windows, on the south side of the building. Felt like taking a little self-portrait. |
