Here Come The Hawks

Dad took me to my first Blackhawks game, and only his second, a couple weeks ago. Thanks to our friend Tom, who works for Ticketweb, we watched from a suite with a bunch of other kids, including my friend Zoe. Bruce, Zoe's dad, took the photo above just after we finished our sundaes. I threw down a hot dog and chips prior to that and a whole lot of popcorn too. The Hawks went home with a 3 - 1 vicotry and I went home with a tummy ache.

A Morning At The Conservatory

Dad and I met Gigi and Papa at The Garfield Park Conservatory last Sunday, where we took in a couple gospel tunes from a local congregation holding their Sunday morning service, before we wandered through the beautiful conservatory rooms.
The GPC recently celebrated it's 100th anniversary, making it one of the nation's oldest, largest and most beautiful conservatories in the country. I especially like the children's area with it's slide and giant bumble bee. Dad snapped the photo above by one of the ponds, which has fish and a few Chihuly sculptures leftover from his show a few years back. We ended our morning by looking at the rare Double Coconut Palm Tree and it's 50 lbs seed.

Self Portrait

My Godmother Breebo is super cool. She lives all over Europe and she let me use her camera during the holidays. I was experimenting with self-portraiture. What do you think of these?
