The title says it all. I post an original photo (nearly) every day, and write a few comments on each one. They're not all great photos, and they don't all show perfect photographic technique (I'm way too fond of chance and happy accidents to always aim for perfection). I hope they are all interesting.

Foremost Liquors
I'm a sucker for old store signs. They seem to want to be shot with a Holga camera.
This photo was shot in early July on Argyle St., which is the business strip of Chicago's small Vietnamese neighborhood. Argyle St. is located right in the middle of the Uptown neighborhood, which for decades was known as a textbook example of a big-city skid row. Uptown has been gentrifying for years, and now is home to trendy restaurants and shops, but still has somewhat of a scruffy feel to it. Luckily, Argyle St. seems pretty much unchanged.
