Chicago

Last weekend, we took a road trip to Chicago, to attend my cousin's wedding. On this trip, I wanted to simplify-no slr, just a point and shoot and a gimmicky, fish-eye film camera.

Simplifying also meant changing my shooting attitude. I have several long-term projects relating to travel photography, but this time, I just wanted to be a tourist. I didn't want to walk away with high art-I wanted vacation snaps-shots that evoke nostalgia and memories without attempting to be masterworks. No thoughts of gallery shows, or awards, or widescale notariety-just new sights, good people and a camera at the end of my arm.
