Still life with 2 dead bookstores

As seen in Pilsen

Too bad it’s not an unemployed broker. Or trader. Or hedge fund manager. Or banker. Or…

Bridge over the river Chicago

From an adventure on the South Branch of the South Fork of the Chicago River this weekend. I like bridges.

John Unger at work

artist John Unger happily applies a plasma cutter to a propane tank to form a firebowl

Click for larger image. John Unger at work fashioning firebowls with a plasma cutter. Amazing what you can do with a properly wound wire filament and some electricity. My memory says Kurt Vonnegut’s brother had a hand in the creation of plasma cutters, and one was featured prominently in the movie Thief (a must see for any one moving to Chicago, along with some version of The Front Page and The Blues Brothers).

October Birthdays

Long believed dead, Alfred Steiglitz has been quietly passing his time in Chicago’s Pilsen Neighborhood, raising otters and engaging in his new found love of graffiti. He asks you to respect his privacy and his skin condition and just leave him alone, preferably with your money and wife.

Some artists transcend death, and Margaret Bourke-White is one, no matter who feels otherwise or how many neighborhood committees meet to ask her to leave or how many laws the City passes to ban the Undead. Mags is currently living on the edge of Heart of Chicago and finishing up her one woman show, “Ghandi and I”.

Charles Bukowski faked his own death and that of three other people to get out of an abusive relationship, fled the steady state boring San Francisco winters for the biting sardonicism of Midwest weather and reports that he is happy at last.

Still life with some dumb photog

It’s a Triumph.

Maxwell Street, no peddling

this is just a place holder for a real picture.
