I just got back from the Windy City...

Well, by "just" I really mean about 2 weeks ago (gosh, has it really already been 2 weeks?!). As I'm sure I mentioned in my previous posts about 100 times, I went to Chicago for a day of mentorship with Marianne Drenthe of Marmalade Photography. What an amazing day! It was all I hoped it would be and more. Mare filled my head with so my knowledge, I am still buzzing with ideas and information! I was also fortunate enough to have my BFF come along for the ride and we spent the rest of the time sight-seeing and eating (LOTS of eating). Can I just say that Chicago should be called (if it's not already) the beef capital of the world? I'm not even kidding you - we had beef at least once every day! I already miss Chicago and can't wait to go back!

Jaclyn's Famous Oprah popcorn...
My delicious cupcake from Sarah's Bakery
My Travel Buddy
Yours Truly
Best Pizza Ever.
Best Steak Ever. We were told Johhny Depp was there the same night as us (but also told that was a joke). When we got home, I read that he WAS there (though I'm not sure if it was the same night) and that he left a $4,000 tip!

On our way up 94 stories to the top of the Hancock Observatory


Doing the el cheeso "window washer" picture that we were told we just HAD to do!
Here was my take on it after Jaclyn told me to do something interesting. She died laughing at my "cheerleader" pose :)
That is my shadow! Clearly my camerea is as big (or bigger) than my head!
This is what happens when we got totally bored after coming in around 9 pm every night...
Clearly, I am not as flexible as Jaclyn, but I do look like I have some mad ninja kung-fu skills here.
Cheers to Chicago! We were sad to go :(
This is how Jaclyn felt about our 2.5 hour flight delay!
I'll be posting some of my pics from the mentorship later today on my photoblog. So be sure to check it out:
