Today I turn 42. When I tell people my age they are as surprised as I am. Oh trust me, there are days that I know I am in my 40's! I have gained 5 lbs that seem to want to stick around, got to experience a colonoscopy (thankfully it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be), have developed essential tremor because my job has finally gotten the best of me. And oh yeah, just ordered my first pair of progressive lens glasses (sigh). So yeah ... I am in my 40's. But then there are the fun things that keep me young - lots of live music, travel, photography and fabulous friends that keep me active and out and about! So what do I say to 42? Let's do this thing!
oh vsco!
I opened my email tonight to a H U G E surprise - VSCO grid curators chose one of my photos to feature in the daily grid! If you don't use VSCO, you have no idea what I'm talking about, but VSCO is the only photo editing app that I use on my iPhone and I have a good number of their Lightroom presets as well. They pick some amazing images to feature and I am completely flattered (and excited) that I had an image chosen! Check out the page here to see the other amazing and beautiful images!

Playing catch up. I've been a bad blogger lately. Sometimes life must be spent away from the computer!

136 through the uprights
My last day of photography on project sites and all the while the flying talent were buzzing the Chicago skies in preparation for the air & water show this weekend. I got a super lucky iPhone series out the window of one of the buildings on Clark. I mean how freakin' cool is this? They didn't really split the uprights, but it sure looked like they did! Sooooo cool!
we just are
Olympic Rings world inequality infographic | iainclaridge.net
Oceania: blue. Europe: black. Americas: red. Africa: yellow. Asia: green.
Oceaniaeuropeamericaafricaasia by creative director, Gustavo Sousa, uses the Olympic Rings to illustrate world inequality, depicting stripped-down statistics from each of the five world regions, through simple scale shifts of the Olympic’s iconic quintet of overlapping loops.
“The rings represent healthy competition and union, but we know the world isn’t perfect. Maybe understanding the differences is the first step to try to make things more equal.”

Spent my Saturday running errands, got my hair done and then a little wandering around the mall. I cannot go without popping into Restoration Hardware. I have always loved that store, but even more now that they redesigned. The white linen couch with down cushions and navy accents - perfect! And that leather chair - designer dreamy. Oh and you can now purchase an 8-foot tall model of the Eiffel tower. { ❤ } I have lusted after the old Paris and London maps for a while. I left my name in case they ever sell the floor model!
Then it was home to listen to my neighbor and his friends scooting their chairs in and out for three hours. I have complained about this guy for a while now. But today it wasn't just me!! Even my next door neighbor was banging on the ceiling. I hate being the bad guy. The grumpy neighbor. But this guy has no respect for others. I went up and knocked on the door. Asked him to stop with the chairs and as soon as he closed the door they were scooting again and laughing. So disrespectful. I would have been mortified if my neighbor complained about me/to me. ... via iPhone ...
