I was organizing my photo albums that I transferred to my new MacBook Pro I bought with some of my Steemit earnings and I found this wonderful selfie taken with the 1st generation iPhone back in 2007. My dear husband took this photo, so I guess it's not really a selfie. There was no front facing camera on 1st generation iPhones.
This is our front yard over on South Water St by Millennium Park and Michigan's Lake Front. The complex used to be a swamp river frontage, then an old dump that was turned into a golf course and then turned into a bunch of condo's and skyscraper apartment buildings.
This is the front of the office building I worked in as a paralegal, not the most glamous job but it was steady work and I didn't have to edit just create documents and do filings in court. The hard part was dealing with court clerks. That's another story to be told at a later date.
I walked to work either on upper Wacker St or Lower Wacker St, it was a 2 mile walk full of interesting people every day. I loved that walk. I walked Lower Wacker during the winter to avoid the extreme cold and winds. That walk and the photos I took will become another article about the underbelly of Chicago. I did a Tibetan meditation called Chod under Chicago surrounded by darkness, dust, and garbage left by the underground communities that used to live down there before Mr. Obama became President. Chod is used to cut fear at its roots and to develop compassion to take the place of fear and I was able to walk in the darkness of Chicago's roots without fear! Walking lower Wacker every day was a strange adventure. By contrast upper Wacker St was a people watching paradise.

This is great to read wonderful experience shared by you :) very cool pics
My husband and I had a blast but we worked so much that we hardly saw each other much. I am glad we work from home now. I love him even more since we spend most of our time together now.

Wow... that's a serious margarita! Reminds me of this place I used to go to a long time ago (I'm more of a "one glass of wine a week" person now) where the margaritas were locally known as "Frozen Ludes." It was house "law" that you had to hand the bartender your keys and license if you tried to order a second one...
Good times, good times...
The bartenders knew us well and we always took a taxi or walked home. It cost around $350.00 extra rent for car parking. We are too cheap and decided to walk because we lived close to stores and work. It was an interesting time not owning a car after owning one most of my life.
So cool to see more of your history and your experiences! that margarita looks very nice.
Thank you @jonjon1, Chicago just about killed me with that kind of fun, but I learned a lot about myself and big city life that I would of never known if I stayed in rural America. I prefer living in the country and visiting the big city from my 10 years of experience living in Chicago.
Lovely post so many great shots :D
Oh man @cutiepie, I have 100s of photos to share, thank you <3
It turned out to be a real portrait :)
Yeah, it's funny how that happens when you are a little drunk and relaxed. I usually am not that photogenic. Thank you @dlina-v-metrah!

Nice share of your photos taken with your 1st gen iphone :D
Even the photo is a bit blurry, you still look pretty darling :)
Upvoted and followed you @reddust!
The photos didn't transfer very well from my old hard-drive, I am going to try and transfer them again, something happened with their sizing ...but it's nice to go through all the great memories. Thanks for the time and comments @apple64, nice to meet you.
