This is Where I Live: Segment 2, Ecuadorian Parade August 2009

The Ecuadorian Parade took place on Montrose Ave on Saturday August 8th between California and Kimball. The hot weather did not deter crowds from lining the streets and enthusiastically waving flags as floats passed by. Some bystanders found shade under trees while others braved the intense sun to cheer on the parade. Floats were escorted by people in traditional ecuadorian dress dancing to traditional music, as well as two women in carnival-esque outfits replete with feathered headdresses dancing to Pitbull's "I know you want me". All in all a great event. It is a hidden gem of parades amongst the larger ones in Chicago and is not one to be missed.

Sailing on the Demetrios

I was fortunate enough to go sailing a couple weeks ago on the Demtrios with some friends and family. There wasn't much wind but it was really cool to see the skyline from the lake. The Demetrios is a beautiful boat and it was an honor to be able to sail it. I also got to take some cool photos. I'd like to thank Captain James, 1st mate Tim, and Josh for the opportunity to be on the boat.

Wicker Park Fest 2009

Wicker Park Fest was a fun time this year. Mullets, music, and drinking in the street. Caught a nice performance by Mickey Factz. Got a chance to shoot onstage during Futurerock. Very nice.
