photos round one!

alright, everyone, let's get down to brass tacks.
i love taking pictures. i do. what i suck royally at is actually doing something with them, like posting them to facebook, printing them, emailing them, anything useful. as a result, my enthusiasm for taking the pictures, coupled with my increased frustration with a piece of machinery we call a "digital camera" and its tendency to be less than helpful when compensating for light sources, leads me to take less pictures. HOWEVER. here are a few from around.


this is my apartment in lincoln park. i've been on the twentieth floor. suffice it to say, it's sweet.


the garden out in front of the building from the ground.


the view of a wedding party taking pictures in the garden. these happen every other weekend or so.


looking south from the balcony. off to the left is navy pier, where fireworks shoot off twice a week.


"my" desk--i technically borrowed it from a freelancer. but i made it a mess my own.


the creatives wing--less than a dozen people actually sit at all these desks.


michael works at the desk across from me. this board featured the word of the day. other favorites include "reinvent", "dang", and "energy".


the sitting area in front of the office. no one sits here, but they still change the flowers every week. coworkers tried to outwit the deliveryman and nick the old flowers before they were replaced, but were only occasionally sucessful.

i wish i had more people-pictures (don't you wish you were featured, saatchi friends?), but again, my picture-taking skills are questionable. more to come later, i hope. now to hit up the town with my bike and camera. seeya later, saatchi. it's been real.
