During Tour de Fat I had an opportunity to meet a Chicagoan I only knew via flickr: bluebike. It really was only a matter of time with all the bike culture events here in the city. What's wonderful about this "interwebs meets real life" occasion is she happened to snap a picture of Joel and I literally right before I introduced myself. I happen to love this shot.
This split second in time - where I knew who she was - but she thought I was about to scold her. I never could. She takes beautiful shots of this city. It makes me scold myself when thinking about getting a nice SLR camera now that I have my four essential bikes practically built up:
Winter: Miyata (thanks to Pete)
Fixed Gear: Windsor (thanks to mplsminx)
Heavy Pretty Hauler: Carabela (thanks to badger)
Fast Roadie: Battaglin (the only one never before owned by one of my friends!)
Until I find time to fit that in with the three or four languages, yoga, college credits, financial investing, obsessions that come up - I'll live vicariously through her lens. She captures it leaps and bounds better than I have the attention to.
Wishing you meetings that take you away from the computer screen...
Love love love,
K.
