Bacon, Hams, Sausages, Salamis. Here in Chicago, we love our meats. Tomorrow is the big immigration march. I’m looking forward to taking part in it.

She suggested that I try another agency. Things were a bit tough at hers. Perhaps I misunderstood a conversation. That is not surprising.

I expected opposition when I decided to post this picture. I didn’t care. Failure to post is not an option.

I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation. But I’m the decider, and I decide what is best. And what’s best is to post this picture of some very fat goldfish.

I would never declassify a picture to get back at a critic. Even if the critic was able to cast doubts about my intentions in the run up to the shutter release.

I like going into other peoples homes and taking pictures of what they have.

This is an image from a series that will be in a show later this spring. I’ll post an invitation for the opening.

Spring is the best time of year. Things become new again. It is a good time to receive visitors. Bring a jacket if you come to Chicago.

Hopefully the image will be below this type. Centered.

Test post.
