Welcome to Chicago! I have been taking photos forever, but I have not ventured into digital until lately....sometimes I get lucky, always I have fun.

After over 4000 photos since joining here in 2007, I am starting over this 2012 in the hopes of really concentrating each day and getting some better images. I also hope to learn a lot on line about layers, and other digital editing, etc., that I just haven't had time to work on.

I hope you like some of my photos; they are mainly impressions of what I see; feel at the time of places I've visited. Thanks for stopping by.... :-) And if you're thinking of visiting Chicago and have any general questions I can answer, just drop me a note; I'll be happy to try.

Lastly, I will say my photos have a copyright. Some of my photos have been used without my permission -- this is illegal. :-( Please be considerate and don't use any without asking me first, this includes blogging!!!! All you need to do is ask... :-)

PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL -- DO NOT POST MY PHOTOS for others on Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else. I prefer them only here for a small group that finds me on their own. Thanks!

    "This testimonial is long overdue, as Jeanne is one of my very first contacts. What a great lady she is! Not only is she a talented photographer, but she has a wonderful sense of humour and enthusiasm about life. Her love of Chicago, as well as the other places she has visited, is evident and her love of life shines through in every one of her pictures.

    Thanks, Jeanne, for all your kind words and encouragement over the past year. You are a great friend, and I'll be sure to look you up if and when I ever get to Chicago."

    "I don't understand why I didn't write a testimonial yet... Jeanne is one of my first and dearest contacts (that became a friend) here on Flickr. Jeanne has a very creative photostream where she shows us the beautiful city of Chicago and a little bit of her daily life: the work, the way home, family, some trips... and she is a very nice person. I'm sure if we didn't live so far away we would probably become great friends. Tks Jeanne!"

    "Jeanne's photo collection is an amazing diary of daily life in downtown Chicago. She captures the events and people that make the city work. Her pictures highlight the ever-changing mood of the city and are a joy to view. She has an amazing eye for the photographic moment and frames her subjects perfectly. She has helped me out more than once, and I am confident she will assist anyone when called upon. Jeanne is a special photographer and, more importantly, a special person........"

    "Jeanne treats us to a lot of wonderful photos. I highly recommend spending some time on her collection of Chicago photos. They are quite marvelous. Never mind "just a point and shoot"; she has a good eye and produces excellent images. Beyond that, she's just a nice person to know. Always has something nice to say about other's work."

    "I love the City of Chicago and it's obvious that Jeanne does, as well. She is modest in her expectations, because she has only a "point and shoot" camera. But her photos demonstrate that it's not the camera, it's the eye of the photographer, the concept of design and the sense of wonder that make for great pictures. In much the same way that I enjoy going into the City to see what I might find, I enjoy looking at Jeanne's photographs."

    "Dear Jeanneg,
    your pictures give a very special impression of Chicago, which I would not have expected.
    I was 5 times in the USA and preferred the open landscape and the wide sky.
    Your pictures let appear even a super large City like Chicago beautiful.
    I am looking forward to see more of it.
    Thanks for it and please excuse my english
    Werner"
