While in Scoville Park on April 3, David O’Connell, 61, of Chicago answered a few questions for the Oak Leaves.
Q: What brings you to Oak Park today?
A: Taking photos.
Q: Just a hobby?
A: Yes.
Q: Any particular subjects?
A: Anything that hits my eye: houses, flowers. A couple of the really nice Frank Lloyd Wright houses. I’ve been doing it on and off for quite a while, 30 years or so.
Q: Cubs or White Sox?
A: I think I’m going to have to go with the Cubs even though I’m a South Sider. They’ve got the best chance.
Q: Favorite thing about spring?
A: The colors, the flowers. Everything. The colors come back. It’s pretty dull in the winter.
Q: Favorite book genre?
A: I read true crimes, like “Vegas Rag Doll” and “Vinny Gorgeous: The Ugly Rise and Fall of a New York Mobster.”
Q: Travel destination of choice?
A: Downtown Chicago. That’s about as far as I go.

Q: Last movie you saw?
A: “Pawn Sacrifice,” about Bobby Fisher. He was paranoid and a little unhinged, but a great chess player.
