Description
This picture was made on a beautiful summer afternoon; I was enjoying iced coffee with my friend, Sukie. We were sitting on the patio of an Over-Exposed-National-Coffee-House chain that shall remain nameless, joking about in our usual fashion.
During all of this, I made pictures with my fairly new digital camera. I became particularly fond of the red umbrellas on the patio of a neighboring not-qute-so-over-exposed national franchise Mexican restaurant. I made several shots of them. This is one of my favorites.
This picture was made on Diversey Parkway in the Lakeview Area of Chicago, on September 4th, 2007. It occurs to me now, that it was exactly three years ago today.

Three years ago today...perfect timing. Lady at the left's hat fits the theme...all things to keep the sun off of one's head:) Well seen.

Fine perspective, light/dark contrast and lush color most apparent in this cool image.

I like that lady, she makes me curious about her life. September can be such a glorious month..especially as I no longer have to go back to teach..I still haven't got over the sense of glee I feel on the first day of term!

I'm so glad that a particularly ubiquitous and overpriced urban-coffee-house-chain has gotten with the program and now allows internet squatters; you don't have to pay for free internet anymore. Hmmm...paying for something free? Kinda sounds like derailed capitalism as only derailed capitalism can function...yeah folks, this is free! You only pay half price for it! But anyway, enough of that. This is a great shot. I like the unexpected human focus in it! The way the woman in the hat is off to the side and the way the umbrellas fool you into thinking that they're the "way into" this picture. I guess they are, since their color is so sharp and crisp, but that lady going into whatever that place is really makes this shot work! And yeah, like Marilyn, I like the city stuff going on in the background. This is a nice shot!

I feel like I could finish my coffee, stand up and walk through that gate, and wander the streets of Chicago in early September with my friends. Perfect.
