Calendar: July 2009

We just got 10 inches of snow, so looking at a picture from the summer isn't such a bad thing today.

I love the little airplanes at the bottom, as if they are on the verge of kissing.

More Air & Water Show photos

I took over a thousand shots at the Air & Water Show, so you know I had to see if there were more worth sharing. These aren't quite as dramatic as the others, but they tell a story too.





I had to over-darken the colors so the smoke trails could be seen. The planes really were that close together as they twisted upward -- the crowd was gasping as they flew up.

Chicago Air & Water Show

I know, it's been a while since I posted. I've been in a slump; everything I've shot has either been overexposed, blurry, or just boring. But I think today's trip to the Chicago Air & Water Show had gotten me out of the slump.





Then we had the brilliant idea to go to the top of the John Hancock building to watch more. The views were stunning.





I heart Chicago, too.



The rest are at this set at Flickr. They're all worth viewing in large.
