On the Trail: Starved Rock State Park
A phone grab from earlier today in Kaskaskia Canyon in Starved Rock State Park. This is one of Illinois’ most popular state parks and had not opened with the rest earlier this month because of […]

Film Friday: 5 Minutes of Light
You might remember my post about waiting for the light. I finally decided that I wouldn’t have access to my film developing equipment (stored at my Mom’s house) for awhile, so I sent a few […]
