1 and 5 are great

Looks like you had a good time even though the gelato place was closed! (obsessed!)

hehe...I know the bean (yeah, I knew the real name of it, too) shot is extremely cliche, but....well...I was kinda goin for that, so I don't care.

I'm in no way against pictures of the bean. In fact, the mere fact that everyone loves taking pictures of the bean (including me!) proves that it was worth the kabillion dollars to install it. It's exactly what public art should be. And, it inspires people to take interesting pictures rather than just "Here's Madge in front of the water tower... Here's Madge in front of Sears tower..." All of a sudden "Here's Madge, reflected and distorted in a way that's artistic and interesting, and here's 5 more shots that I actually experemented with what a photo can be!"

Hooray for the Bean!

And is that person really taking their pants off?
