  • Flowers from Molly, 10 September 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Assuming I’d forget, our dear friend Molly secretly plotted to sent us flowers for our anniversary by asking Beth Ann what day our anniversary was. Amusingly Beth Ann told her the wrong date and it arrived on the 10th when our anniversary is…

  • Waiting for a Ride, 9 September 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   With everyone stuck at home lots of us are doing deep cleanings. Cycling around I discovered this rain-soaked stuffed bear, in a chair, waiting to be picked up as trash. There was something beautiful and sad about it at the same time.

  • Anniversary Walk, 8 September 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   For our two year anniversary we took a walk in LaBagh Woods.

  • Texas Gold Sausage, 7 September 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Picked up sausages from Spoken Cafe to celebrate Labor Day, and saved two for later. Added some diced tomatoes from our garden and some cheese and it would up not just being delicious but feeling fancy AF.

  • Greenview and Wilson, 6 September 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Took this out on a walk with the dog, I just appreciated the aesthetic beauty of the trees contrasting with the signage.

  • Wrapping Paper, 4 September 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   I cleaned out under our crawl space and started organizing all of the wrapping/gift-giving materials we own as Beth Ann wrapped a gift for our friend’s Zoom Bridal Shower.

  • Tools, 2 September 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Beth Ann has been spending a lot of time in the garage working on pottery.

  • Alexander Sky, 30 August 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   A moment of hope in a gloomy world, we spent the day at a friend’s house staging a ‘crime scene’ photo shoot birth announcement for our friend’s newborn. (The theme was mom’s idea.) The final images will include a chalk outline added in post.

  • Medical Tents, 1 September 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   These are situated in Buena Park behind the Howard Brown Health and by Thorek Memorial Hospital. I assume they’re used for walk up COVID testing. Tents like these have become a fixture throughout the city.

  • Logan Square, 29 August 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   I picked up a pizza from Paulie Gee’s and was surprised to see how active the Logan Square community was. Similarly to Wrigleyville, it’s like nothing is happening, which is terrible.
