August 7, 2013. North Mayfair is the neighborhood I am housesitting in, which is filled with street after street of bungalows. This one, my friend Amy calls the Hansel and Gretel house.

August 6, 2013. During my lunch break, now that I work in the Loop, I sometimes go see what's up on Chicago's streets. I stumbled on the installation of several sculptures near the Art Institute one day. It looks a little bit like something I wasn't supposed to see.

August 5, 2013. Sometimes, all you can do is say, "Bismillah, that's terrible," and take a picture. This doll was in the window of a thrift shop in Wicker Park.

August 4, 2013. This one day I had to recreate since I did not yet know I was doing another 365 project. It was easy, though, because I didn't even leave the house that Sunday. This is Tokio, my friend Amy's cat. I was her housesitter for a month while she was in Montana. Tokio was sure to present me with occasional challenges, so I didn't become too comfortable.

August 3, 2013. At the gracious invitation of Rick Carney from the Austin Texas School of Rock, I went to one of their shows at the House of Blues in Chicago. While sitting at my table after the show had ended, I saw this group walk up to the hostess stand.

Back to the 365! Starting with August first, illustrated here, I'll bring another photo each day for a year.

This is Matt, who plays bass in Squared Off, a band I play drums for, and his wife having some food after we played at Reggie's in Chicago.
