I have wanted to photograph this helical staircase at the @artinstitutechi for years. I can't wait to go back and hang out here for a while with my 100mm and 100-400mm lenses. #EastCoastKin #ArcanumAlumni #G+Circle #ArchitecturePhotography #SeeWithLauri #ImageLicensing

I have wanted to photograph this helical staircase at the @artinstitutechi for years. Many years. Either I went to the museum and never made it to where the staircase is, or I haven't been down to the Art Museum in forever. #EastCoastKin #ArchitecturePhotography #SeeWithLauri

I have wanted to photograph this helical staircase at the @artinstitutechi for years. The sculpture, Huck and Jim, is by Chicago artist Charles Ray. I will be going back to sit and spend some time with this staircase and my camera. #Stunday #PhotographersUnited #ArchitecturePhotography

A friend went to a book signing last night. She posted this: "While in line this evening to meet an author, the man in front of us saw this book next to us on the shelf!" "The author of Polar Opposites is my friend, Lauri." Wonder if he purchased it?? #PolarOpposites #SelfPublished

It's ok to take creative breaks. It's necessary. Sometimes life forces these breaks. My way of dealing with it is to go with it. It doesn't mean I'm not creative. That never stops. The ideas continue to pile up. And here's a car 1953 Pontiac Chieftain #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #G+Circle

I'm not a portrait photographer. But when in a group activity, I get a chance to play. Someone else sets up the lighting and I can just focus on creating the composition. Austin, TX. #HumansOfBlueSky #SeeWithLauri #EastCoastKin #G+Circle #ArcanumAlumni #PhotographersUnited
