Back in the US

The readjustment to the US wasn't as difficult as a thought it would. The tough part is office culture. I accidentally prevented my boss from scoring a waitresses number at one of our afternoon outings and have feared for the security of my position ever since.

Here's a fast forward of life back in the US.

Back in the US taking my photo in a huge silver baked bean in Chicago.


The huge silver baked bean in Millennium Park. I must note here that Mayor Daley is one of my favorite mayors in the United States right now... Right after my buddy Bing.


Here's a water feature in Millennium Park: a fantastic example of Chicago's continued dedication to the development of open public space.


After a stroll through Millennium Park, it was off to a local neighborhood festival celebrating local fashion and culture.


While these are photos of Chicago, I am in Worcester, MA. This is a piece of graffiti I photographed for a youth organization I started a couple years back called Main South Speaks. The site was down at the time of this posting, but should be up soon.

During my last couple of weeks in Mexico I traveled with a good friend of mine, Juan Rojas, who I helped create the website The Image Octopus which is an online space dedicated to visual research and anthropology.

My time with Juan certainly made me more aware of the use of public space by governments, communities, and dissenters.

Since I am not longer traveling, this "travelog" will be shifted to a place to play with ideas for research and writings I am doing. Fear not though. Future travels are always right around the corner.
