Lincoln Park Zoo

It was a nice day on Saturday and headed to LPzoo for some snap shots. It was to practice shooting objects/animals. For real photography, I will head to Brookfield zoo. But from the LPzoo experience, I think I'll need a zoom lens, a 70-300mm would do.

The cold winter

When it was -20?F outside, with wind chill down to "significant shrinkage," I went out in the morning to take some of the spectacular photos of the lake.

MLB

The baseball league is messed up in so many ways that it is no longer fair to play the game anymore.
The acquisition of A-Rod by the Yankees is just one of the recent examples. If one spends that much money to build a team, why not just buy the damn trophy? Of course, getting the best players doesn't guarantee winning. The Yankees haven't won since 2000 and they've got Giambi, Matsui, Soriano, Jeter, Clemens, Rivera, and many others. Heck, if the Cubs signed just one or two more all-stars, they would win a championship, too. But alas...

Beethoven 9th Symphony

Great concert. Wonderful chorus and soloists. A bit too loud.
This piece of music needs to be heard live. Recording compromises the overwhelming experience of joy.
