“There is only one Lord of the Bean, only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power.”

I married Ruth, my high school sweetheart, in 1983 and we have four children and 6 grandchildren. I have been the worship pastor at Mission Bible Church since 2004. We are located in Minooka, a southwest suburb of Chicago. I love singing, bicycling, music, Mahler, boxing, coffee, movies, The Beatles, sunsets, coffee, Mahler, the seashore, sunsets at the seashore, coffee, and… the seashore. Originally from New York, I grew up 15 minutes from the beautiful beaches of southern Long Island. I have a Fujifilm X-T5 that I use to capture the world I see. I also enjoy writing about the images that surface in my mind and heart as I work with the images from my camera. Thanks for stopping by!

Put the pin down and walk away……s-l-o-w-l-y…..
look what the bean did
I wonder if Cloud Gate, a.k.a., The Bean, is the most photographed object in Chicago. I am pretty sure that you cannot exhaust the limitless possibilities this fascinating sculpture represents from a photographer’s perspective.
the plane boss, the plane
The Museum of Science and Industry is such a fun place for your senses. This is one example: your eyes are just overwhelmed by the proximity of the planes hanging (more like floating) from the ceiling.
a photographer in the wild
shhhh…if you are very quiet you may see a certain photographer in his native mirrored habitat…
mirror maze
The best part of this afternoon’s visit to the Museum of Science and Industry was the mirror maze! It was totally disorienting, put you in an insecure, tenuous mode and, was sooooooo fun!!
this way or that way
I haven’t done any research, but someone has probably figured out the amount of people that, at any given time, are a part of the subterranean world of New York City. We are all going somewhere. We are all on the journey towards our destination and destiny, going this way, or, that way.
the soybean fields
By this time of year the soybean fields are a beautiful green of such depth that they seem to be animated, especially when they are caressed by the winds and the green waves roll across the fields.
riding again
Here is a bit of a departure from all the recent black and white posts. Some of you may remember that I had a mishap with my motorcycle and a certain peacock earlier this summer. I am glad to say that the peacock was unharmed, the bike is repaired, and my scrapes healed up nicely, so, I am riding again!
lower manhattan rain
Even on a rainy afternoon, it was still a spectacular view.
