The New Year's Day theme is traditionally picture of the year. Insisting on a single image brings out my dislike for authority so I have assembled a small assortment.
The top photo is the obvious first choice. It's the picture of the stairwell at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago that won first prize in a major annual photography show here. They actually gave me money.
The shots below reflect the periods of very wet weather we had in 2010. First, the approaches to the now defunct riverboat casino Admiral under the floodwaters of the Mississippi. Middle, a damp day in Forest Park in an image where I thought everything fell together perfectly. Bottom, the flood completely over the levee and just covering the bike path on the street closest to the river.
