Disolving Stories

Newer Older

Taking pictures with a great bunch of flickerites on March 5th I noticed these newspapers dissolving on some rocks in a fenced off area beneath the stairs that led up to upper Michigan Avenue after we walked underneath the bridge that crosses the Chicago River.

Because it was fenced off the newspapers layed there completely undisturbed in the elements.

I met some fun and enthusiastic photographers who braved the snow and cold that day to enjoy the Chicago Area Photowalk that PicsByRobert organized.

It was good to meet all of you... and thanks for setting everything up Robert!

edpuskas, Feldore, RobertPhotographics, Loca Luna / Anna Gay, and 11 other people added this photo to their favorites.

    Thank you Teresa. I think you happen to rock! I'm constantly on the lookout for the weird, strange and unusual... which I'm always sure to find in a reflection.

    Thanks Romeo! I don't know what all that salt water does for my Nikon... but it makes my skin really soft. That poor camera's been through too much.

    Nikon... it's the Japanese word for 'true love, ever faithful and never lets you down.'

    Or at least it should be in Viewminderworld.

    I love this shot. The fragility of it creates an endearing sense when you look at it. To capture a moment like this is what being an artist is all about. Take care. =]
