2/15 - Challenge: Out of the Orient

Hotel Room, Joliet IL view map

I could not even find chop sticks for today's Informal Transglobal Thursday Challenge. I had such
cool ideas earlier and then I got sent to Chicago. Looked all day and this is what I could find.

This shot is the poster child for why we shoot macro with a tripod. I don't take one with me when I
travel and I redid this photo a lot tonight trying to get the focused area right. Never hit it. This
is as close as it got. :(

See the photos of all those others getting "Out of the Orient" this week in the Transglobal Challenge
in this PAD Forum Thread.

I personally like that it is in English and French but Made in China. That's fabulous. You should start a gallery of things you shoot while on business travel. :)
