I spent the night in Chicago after my trip to the Lincoln Park Zoo a while back. The next day I was scheduled to cover the Gaelic Park IrishFest but when I got up that morning I heard that Lake Shore Drive was shut down to vehicular traffic so bicyclists could traverse "LSD" or, "The Drive" as we call it, so I walked on down to check it out ... here's what I came away with! Well, I have a few more nice ones (to my mind at least), but this one might be my favorite of the bunch. That'll probably change tomorrow but for now it's my story and I'm sticking too it.

Paul Kopecky - R.I.P.

Way too sad. Keep rockin' on the other side, Paul.

Friends, fans mourn musician

BY LEE B. ROBERTS
lroberts@journaltimes.com

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 7:18 PM CDT

RACINE — Phones were ringing nonstop on Tuesday at the homes of Paul Kopecky’s family members as friends and fans of the local musician called with condolences upon learning of his death.

Kopecky, 37, died unexpectedly Monday night due to complications of juvenile diabetes, according to his brother Joe Kopecky.

Probably best known as the drummer for the instrumental progressive rock band called Kopecky, which also featured his brothers Joe and Bill, Paul was a very kind and generous person, say those who knew him best.

“He would help anybody with anything,” said Joe. “And he wasn’t just a good drummer. He was also a talented carpenter and an amazing mechanic. Everybody went to him to get their car fixed.”

Paul Kopecky

Employed at JC’s Mufflers & Brakes on Douglas Avenue for eight years, Paul could repair and build just about anything, his brother said.

“Everything he did, he did well,” Joe said. “If he had wanted to build a spaceship, he probably could have built one.”

A life-long resident of Racine, Paul traveled with his brothers through the years as their trio performed at progressive rock festivals worldwide, as well as at venues here in the states. As a band, they produced five CDs of original music and were known around the globe for their innovation and musicianship.

On Tuesday, Joe said he’d received calls from as far away as Belgium in response to Paul’s death. “He was an outstanding human being and he was instrumental to our success as Kopecky,” he said of his brother.

“Paul was loved by so many people,” said Paul’s fiancee Kristine Vogelman. “And we all miss him so deeply.”

Vogelman, who shared her life with Paul for nine years, described him as very caring family man who was not only close to his brothers, but her children and grandchildren as well. “He was Poppa to them,” she said.

When he wasn’t working or playing with the band, Paul enjoyed outdoor activities including fishing, hunting and gardening.

“We planned to get married in our garden next June, because that’s where we spent a lot of our time,” Vogelman said.

In addition to his brothers, Paul is survived by his parents, Shirley and Joseph Kopecky Jr., of Racine. Funeral services will be held on Friday at the Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home, 4600 County Line Road. A wake will be held from 3 to 5 p.m., followed by a service at 5 p.m. Complete obituary information is scheduled to run in Thursday’s Journal Times.

Slainte,
Gareth

A concert shot today ... just as the crowd was filing in. I had to go with this one today, as I just woke up from a very strange dream that involved a concert shoot; strange vene (ie: the layout of the place), Dream Theater (apropos eh?), camera bag confiscation, finding it (the bag) later in an empty seat of an empty row, being told while setting up that Dream Theater photos would not be allowed ... very weird.

I was going to post another shot of the Mystery Bird from the other day (which I've now been able to identify, by the way), but I saw this and it hit me just right. In color, this species is a vibrant red/magenta, with a little yellow thingy perched atop. Very pretty, but I just didn't see it that way. As mentioned many times, I see in black and white. Don't know why...just do. It's very hard for me to not convert a photo to B&W in post. With this one I was determined!

Many folks have been asking me what ever happened to the CAMERA INFO feature on my daily postings. I just got really lazy, is all, but today I thought, "What the hell!" So today they're back!

Sitting still for a portrait was no problem for this fella, let me tell ya. If you think about it though, being at a zoo, what else does he have to do? You can see the sadness in his face. This photo really illustrates the love/hate relationship I have for the institution of zoo's. Take an animal who's every instinct tells him he should have vast square miles of land to roam free and put him in a "display" consisting of square feet ... all for our enjoyment. And if he messes up and mauls a human, he's the one we'll put down.

Spirit of Life (2nd version)

Greetings~

We're back at the Conservatory today for this shot ... the Lincoln Park Conservatory in Chicago, that is, which is neighbors with the Lincoln Park Zoo, for those who didn't know. I had a beautiful day to hang out at both places a couple of weeks ago and, with "The Beast" (70-200mm; f/2.8 IS Canon L Series glass) in tow, I took full advantage of a day to myself. I have a lot of shots from this day to share in the days ahead ... many of them in color, even!

Here we have a little hand-held, bracketed, three image HDR waterfall action. It's amazing what you can do with a good image stabilized lens. Don't tell me equipment doesn't matter in photography! In "normal" circumstances I'd agree, but in this situation (very low light) nothing short of using a tripod (which wasn't feasible given the confined and populated location) would've brought this one home. The right equipment, not the photographer, made this one possible ... and thus ends my small, inconsequential rant for today.

My Restricted Judas

(Click Image for Larger View)

At the Lincoln Park Zoo; this is part of a huge tree stump that had been turned on its side, had a hole cut in the middle of it and glass mounted in the hole. This then had one of the display fences mounted around it ... I think it was the bear den. Children could then step "inside" the stump and view the animals behind the cage. That, in itself, didn't really interest me; this did!

Slightly lewd, too, wouldn't you say?
