New Year's in Chicago

This New Year we had the fortune of connecting with my sister Nancy and her lovely family in Chicago. Here is Josue, with his sleek hat in a striking pose. On the background one can see the ornate ceiling of the Shed Aquarium. I gave my camera to Josue. He shot a few pictures here and there. When he came back, we previewed the pictures together and found this candid shot of a mother with her two kids. "Did you ask to pose this family for you", I asked Josue. "Yeah", he replied in his usual debonair tone. As we continued our tour of the galleries, I noticed some familiar faces. In front of me, was a poster of the family that was perfectly framed by Josue with the camera...the poster was advertising a picture service for the patrons of the Shed. Josue's photographic skills sure fooled me.
From left to right: Nancy Sr., Nancy Jr. Rita, Sofia, and inside Rita's jacket baby Lucia.
Here are the Reed-Maldonado's posing in front of a gorgeous mosaic at Marshall Fields, where we had lunch at the Walnut Room.
Josue found a lovely young lady with whom to practice some waltz steps...
