New Year at the Old Shedd Aquarium

I recently caught up on some lost time visiting one of my favorite landmarks in Chicago, the Shedd Aquarium. It was a free day, and a holiday to boot, so as you can imagine, quite crowded. I did manage to pull the camera out a few times, as you can see. Weekdays in February are free admission this year I’m told, so expect to see more of my aquatic friends in front of the lens.

with the trash pandas

Met up with some new potential headshot clients after work. They have a new upstart company..something about the proper sorting of trash. Rest assured, if you hear a’rustlin’ at your dumpster..they are there, making sure you sorted out your recyclables… so they say..They are very friendly and gentle with the humans, and will completely ignore you once the food offerings are gone…pics ©Jay Madden photographer…seriously folks, they’re watermarked..don’t try, please…
