Random thoughts and observations, including photographs, in the tradition of a flaneur*: a stroller, a loiterer, a dawdler on street corners, a hanger-about who rambles through a city without any apparent purpose but is highly attuned to the history of the place and is in a constant covert search of adventure, esthetic or the exotic and erotic.

* Baudelaire created the term.
The painted fire curtain of the Chicago Opera House. It depicts the parade scene from Aida. The interior decoration details were
created by American artist Jules Guerin in a palette of salmon pinks,
roses, olives, golds and bronzes. Come early to examine the interior decor and bring binoculars!
Here are a few photos of the interior of the Oriental Theater in downtown Chicago. Enjoy. Shot with a Canon s100. I shot some more a month or so later and will post them when I have time.
