Fun with the iPhone 4S suction-cup mounted to the windshield.

Recorded: December 21-25, 2011.

Just got home from another Xmas in Las Vegas.  This photo was taken just before 1 p.m. PST today, December 25, 2011.  More photos and video soon.

10 Minutes: A Drive in Chicago (HD video in only 60 seconds)

With the iPhone 4S suction-mounted to the rear, driver's side passenger window,

this is a drive from the Kennedy Expressway's Damen on-ramp to Ohio & Clark Street.

It's just a little experiment for some video I plan to shoot in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned!

The Familiar Place is Germany at Epcot

Original Photo Date: January 3, 2009

A Familiar Place...

Every time I see this commercial (usually on fast-forward), I think, "Hey, I've been there." I finally figured out tonight that yes, indeed, I've been THERE many times (though the sign over the door does not say "Werther's Original"). Do you know what and where this really is?

Remembering 9/11 Ten Years Later

A photo I took of New York in the mid-1990s and a photo of the U.S. Flag from 2009.

Remembering 9/11

Today, we salute emergency workers everywhere.
Here are some of Chicago's finest in action.

On 9/11/2001, I was in Southern California on a business trip,
and I ended up at Disneyland on 9/12 and 9/13.

My photos of Epcot and the U.S. Capitol, retouched for 9/11.

From my rooftop in West Lakeview, some highlights from today.
Watch on YouTube in HD.

For anyone out there wondering whether I was going to attend or post from Disney's D23 Expo this year, the answer is: No, I decided not to attend.

A Nighttime Ride in Chicago - August 13, 2011

Watch the video on YouTube.

August 13, 2011.  A nighttime ride in Chicago from Damen and Clybourn, to Downtown.  The video is at 3000% of actual speed (with wait times at red lights further trimmed).

Further experimenting with a technique for mounting the ATC2K camera to the passenger-side headrest.

Is this Jim Korkis?

I've digitized more of my video from my trip to The Disney Institute at Walt Disney World in November 1996.

I think our guide for the Disney Architecture class was none other than Disney historian Jim Korkis.  This is a freeze frame in front of the Team Disney Building.
