This used to be an airport. 

Lakeview Cycling Club, 1890's

Found another one. This picture is of the Lakeview Cycling Club, from the 1890's. No specific date given. The address listed is 403 Orchard St, but according to The Encyclopedia of Chicago that is based on an old numbering system. Go visit The Encyclopedia of Chicago, it is an amazing online historical archive with so many great old school photos.

Flight

Took this picture the day I saw Phish 3D, I think it was May 13th. The movie theater, to which the Pegasus belongs, is adjacent to O'Hare airport.

Vintage Future

I picked up my Polaroid camera, the Spirit 600, from the repair shop a couple weeks ago and found myself at the most recognized sculpture in Chicago. So I snapped a pic. Click.

Just Keep Truckin' On

I've been changing my Twitter avatar everyday while incorporating the Phish Twibe logo (which I must give props to UNOlker for). Here are the first sixteen avatars I have created and used, each for a twenty-four hour period. I realized on Twitter we link our avatars to our account personality. The picture represents who we are on Twitter and makes it easier for us to locate specific tweets. I figured a fun way to deviate from that would be to change my avatar everyday, making it harder for any one person to locate my tweets. All in the name of fun and chaos!

This is a random collection of twitpics of clouds, trees, and the sky, put together and moving at a motion-sickness inducing pace. Enjoy! All pictures taken by Zach Himself.

Five Shots Two Months One Pond

Been taking pictures from the same spot of North Pond in Lincoln Park off of Fullerton in Chicago. Here are the first five shots so far, covering the middle of March to the middle of May: Post Winter > Spring. Though the May shot from yesterday is borderline Summer, do I dare: Sprimmer? Summing? weak.

Wrigley Field 5.17.10

I go to lots of Cubs games living right down the street, and I take lots of pictures. As of the moment I don't really have a "real" camera, like an SLR or even a decent pocket cam, so I end up taking pictures from my 1.3 megapixel camera phone (and they come out okay, most of the pictures on this blog are from my phone).

Here are two shots from Wrigley on Monday, May 15th, a night game against the Rockies. It was very cold and windy, as it's been in Chicago all Spring. The Cubs won in the 11th with a walk off home run from Aramis Ramirez. I put this together on Photoshop.
