Forgotten pictures

Well, not exactly forgotten.

Way back in April 2008 I posted this. I mentioned that I picked up a disposable camera during my trip to Chicago and used it while I was walking along Michigan Avenue. Turns out I had a few shots left, so I took it to Shreveport to see my family. The camera sat in my kitchen cabinet until last month, when I finally got pictures developed. I got them back today.

Some ginormous building I encountered on my walk. Anyone want to tell me what it is? Michelle, does it look familiar?

OK, off to Louisiana

I went all the way to Chicago...

...and didn't even take pictures!

Actually, I was there on business, so for the most part there was no reason to take pix. But I spend an extra night there and had some time to see the sights, then realized I didn't bring my camera. So I bought a disposable one at one of the many Walgreens that dot almost every corner of downtown Chicago. Unfortunately I didn't use up the film and it will take a while to process the pictures anyway, so you'll have to take my word for it that Chicago is GREAT. I got to see my friend Michelle for a relaxing dinner, and I got to walk the Magnificent Mile and a good chunk of the Loop. Oh, and the meeting was good too ;)
