Balloon artist Willy Chyr appears at Millennium Park August 21, 2009 as part of the Science Chicago LabFest! celebration. Chyr’s jellyfish-like creations are a product of the University of Chicago graduate’s interest in physics and magic. Read more about him here. A short video I made of the afternoon is on Youtube.

Comcast Center in Philadelphia
From time to time I like to post images from the recent past. Today, I’m posting two pictures of the headquarters for the Comcast cable company in Philadelphia after a storm on May 20, 2008.

Philadelphia’s beloved Ben Franklin impersonator, Ralph Archbold, is recovering from a stroke. The 67-year-old actor has been a familiar figure around Philadelphia since 1982.
Here’s the scoop from the Philadelphia Daily News on his condition.
I was fortunate to get to know him and to photograph his real-life wedding last year to Linda Wilde, herself a noted character actor in Historic Philadelphia.
Get well soon Ben!
Fausto at Latin Pride Chicago
I like the flickr video player better than any other I’ve seen out there. It’s clean and simple. So here, as a test, is a short video of my friend Fausto and his brief appearance at the Latin Pride festival in Chicago’s Humboldt Park June 13, 2009. Fausto makes a podcast called the Feast of Fun that runs five days a week with his partner Marc.

Chicago is great, but from time to time I miss the view from my apartment in New York. Here’s my visual reminder…
