Got into Chicago last night for Zack Arias’ OneLight workshop tomorrow, 7/12. Last time I was here was summer 2007 when I went to pick up my wife and the Ape after their return from visiting her family in Japan. In case you didn’t know, I lived here for nearly 20 years, mostly during my teens-20′s, and then again in my early 30′s when I was here for school. I love this city and have a lot of friends here I haven’t seen in years, so to say I am excited to be here is an understatement. At the same time, I’m also a little bit nervous because I’m not sure what to expect from the workshop and how it’ll go. Probably no problem at all, but still . . .  In Japanese, the word for this feeling is “kinchoushiteru”, which means “nervous” or “apprehensive”, but not quite as strong a feeling as it implies in English. Anyway, should be a great experience, and I look forward to it. I’ll probably post snaps as the days go by here until I return home Wednesday, so enjoy Chicago with me as well!
