Happy Valentine's Day!

Well really it's just an over-marketed retail holiday, but the romantic in me can't help but get warm fuzzies when I think about it.

Came across a couple videos on you tube that I thought were worth sharing. If you have a minute, enjoy!
Eat your heart out

And one that's a bit more bitter sweet...

Happy Valentine's to everyone out there!

Through the eyes of a child

Recently, in order to challenge our creative skills, my friend Jordan and I came up with the idea of doing a photo "assignment" of sorts. Each assignment will have a different theme to it. This assignment was "Through the eyes of a child". You can see Jordan's post here. You may need to scroll down a ways on the page since I am much delayed in posting my submission! This is also not to be confused with the photo assignments that he is doing with Jenna, although her photos are definitely worth checking out...

Anyway, I was away in Chicago for work this last week and had a chance to go for a quick walk one morning before going into meetings. I grabbed a coffee, headed off from the hotel and much to my delight came across Millennium Park a few blocks away. I was so excited about it, that I ran back to the hotel to get my camera (not sure why I left without it in the first place!) and dragged my co-worker back so I could take pictures. I was acting like a little kid - so I figured why not look at Chicago through the eyes of a child? So, here it is, my submissions for the first photo assignment. Enjoy!

Ice skating in the city - what kid wouldn't think that was cool?
