Sometimes nature benefits, aesthetically at least, from a little man-made contrast. These purple flowers are from my backyard and I have them in a few spots. They're nice enough. But once I wheeled around to the other side of my daughter's play set and saw them contrasted against the yellow tube slide they really popped.

2.4 million dollars in rare $100,000 bills. Woodrow Wilson at this particular moment was my favorite president. Having the opportunity to hold these uncirculated bills came at the World's Fair of Money in Rosemont while on assignment for the Daily Herald. This position allows me incredible access to many unique things and this one will be called Easy Come, Easy Go! chapter eight in my memoirs. Just imagine all the Nikon cameras I could have bought. Such a pity! This photo was published in the Perspective column in the print edition of the Daily Herald.
