Vive la République!

One of the best ways to get a quick tour of Paris... and to see all the beautiful bridges, is on the back of a Batobus. The Batobus takes you to the heart of Paris, with stops at all of the main tourist sites (including the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre). With 8 stops on the route, you see a different view of Paris and lets you travel around the city the way Parisians originally did. This shot was taking right after we passed the Pont Alexandre III bridge. The French flag was blowing in the warm summer breeze. 

Chicago Architecture

View from hotel room at Affinia (if you look really close, you can see me in the building reflection). It's kind of crazy to think that even though I'm on the 29th floor, I'm still surrounded by buildings twice as tall.

So... I meant to walk around the city of Chicago on Friday to do some shopping and take some pictures... but it was black Friday and the streets were INSANELY packed with shoppers, protesters, religious preachers, and street performers. I didn't make it out of a two block radius. Nonetheless, I still think I managed to capture some interesting pictures. Enjoy!

What's on Tap?

Stopping by the Beantown Pub for an afternoon drink.

Holding Us Prisoner

I'm definitely not an overly political person, but I thought that the symbolism represented by this picture was appropriate (given that there is still a chance the US could default on debt).

Shown in the background is the Boston State House... and in the foreground, you have bars that surround the building. In looking at this picture, it conveys the sense that the government is holding us prisoner. I thought it came out pretty interesting.
