Happy Retirement Chris!

From the Chicago Sun Times, this is my Father-in-law:

We’ll miss you, Chris!

If ever there was a guy who has seen it all when it comes to Chicago’s most infamous politicos, mobsters and power players, Chris Passias is your man.

A retired Chicago Police officer, Passias has worked the last dozen years as a security officer in the Dirksen Federal Building.

On Tuesday, dressed in a natty summer fedora and blue-patterned shirt, he bid farewell to court personnel and news crews standing by the lobby metal detectors through which he once monitored the felonious likes of Rod Blagojevich, Joey “The Clown” Lombardo and Lord Conrad Black.

At 75, it’s time to go travel with his wife.

We’ll miss you, Chris!

Toy Camera

I was curious what sort of photos I could wring out of a simple, point and shoot, sub $50 digital camera.  In this case, a Polaroid X800.  Its most interesting features are the 3M water resistance and low price.  So, below are some photos I took in LaGrange, IL.  What do you think?
