 that <br>my brother Vova got for <br>me while redeeming points <br>he got from the store he worked at <br>for going to HP training. <br>I’m thankful to him for doing that.', 'Title: The Train Is Coming. The photograph was taken in Downtown Houston on Main Street. This digital color street shot is a variation on the time when motion picture was introduced to the public in the early twentieth century (20th). The fear of motion pictures is echoed by the lack of human presence in this photo. It is a documentary street snapshot of sorts. The Metro train project in the Bayou City is relatively new to the city and because of suburban (suburbia) planning of the city not very useful at this time (2008-2009). Only people living around Medical Center, Rice University, and Houston’s Downtown can use the Metro Train effectively.');)

 during the cold winter months. The pigeons are huddled (in a huddle) around a fire on the street. The fire is surrounded with a fence that keeps people from approaching the flame. Around, people are busily passing by in a rush to get somewhere worm. Documenting Chicago and its peculiarities (architecture, city planning, pedestrian and residents, birds, buildings) was very interesting while I lived there. The documentary photo is a digital color file and has parts of the city’s architecture.');)
 with the State and Lake Streets being directly bellow. It was taken from Harold Washington College (HWC, part of City Colleges of Chicago System, CCCS). Because of weather conditions - cold Windy City winter and a sunny day - the heat, escaping from the chimneys of many downtown buildings, is clearly visible making it seem similar to people breathing while working hard outside in the cold weather. Unfortunately I did not have my polarizing filter at the time and could not completely remove the glare from the windows of Harold Washington College on State and Lake streets and it is not an HDR image.');)
 seem to walk in the direction of the center of Windy City Downtown area, while a regular pedestrian is walking towards the Navy Pier on Lake Michigan. This digital color street shot is simply an interesting juxtaposition of elements in a photograph. It has some architectural features (buildings and construction) of the city along the Chicago River.');)

 just north of Windy City downtown. The lake was covered with drifting ice and the skyline of the N. Lake Shore buildings provided a shadow on one of the Great Lakes in the foreground, while the pier of the Lincoln Park is still lit by the setting sun. Lincoln Park is immediately to the left/north of the image.');)
. the image documents two bulldozers and their operators working during the night (it is about 1am) shift to widen the 59 freeway. Architectural parts of the buildings in this area are visible in the cityscape in the background.');)

 in the late fall. Any photographer likes to make self-portraits. It is also a street image of the city – many cars are going by in the night of the late fall. Little adjustments were made to the digital color image in order to correct the white balance. ');)
 wheeler truck – slightly visible in the center of the photo in the background. a Houstonian is observing the traffic. The feeder street is visible on the right and a Tiger Woods billboard for wristwatch commercial as well. The Houston traffic on 610 is notorious in Galleria area and it was construction and the city was widening this part of the freeway.');)
 in a red dresses in the shopping window in this Galleria store with the huge photo print in the background make an interesting photograph. Shopping and over shopping is the past time of many Americans. This digital street color image was taken in Houston, TX.');)
 under the initiative of the mayor of Chicago Richard M. Daley to make the city more tax viable (profitable). The residents of the projects were relocated. ');)
. In the foreground there is a woman about to dive into Lake Michigan despite a clear warning not to dive. Another woman is looking at the diver. One more shot of Chicago street documenting the residents of the city and their affection towards the one of the Great Lakes Michigan.');)
. It is a single image (not a composite of four exposures) through the four windows on the main floor of the University Hall. Some streets of the city are visible and Lake Michigan is in the background.');)
 and documents the moment the sailor and the pigeon shared while waiting. He later fed a few pigeons with leftover sandwich. The Millennium Train Station services many near and far suburbs of Chicago. The longest route will take you as far east as South Bend and Notre Dame, IN.');)

 kept campuses I have ever been to. The location of Rice University is in the Galleria/Medical Center of Houson where most of the artistic action takes place. The Museum of Fine Art Houston, Contemporary Art Museum, Menil Collection, Rothko Chapel, and many other institutions and art galleries are located in the area of Rice University campus (and the Westheimer and Montrose intersection). The image documents the hours when no classes are scheduled at the university. The woman and her dog are seen in the background of this photograph.');)
 on Bissonnet and Montrose. The area is known in Houston for the richness of the artistic expression and numerous museums and galleries of the area. In the vicinity of a couple of miles you can find Rothko Chapel, Rice University (RU) campus, Menil Collection, Contemporary Art Museum, and the Westheimer and Montrose intersection. This black and white image was taken in color first, later converted to b&w and was taken in Bayou City Houston, TX.');)
