Wordless Wednesday

2008-02-137 CommentsPhotography, Travel, Wordless Wednesday

I was originally going to do a Chicago trip report series, but now that my visit is 4 months behind me, instead I will just share some of the photos I took.

    Really great photos! I enjoy seeing the photos, but I doubt that I will ever visit a large city again.

    Adam, fantastic shots. Great composition on all of them. I think my favorite is “the bean”

    I have to admit there are so many to comment on here – all so clean and crisp. (Which.. considering the last time I drove through Chicago that is really saying something!!) You do the city justice. It’s a tough call on my favorite. I love how uniform Along Millenium Park is … it feeds my sense of order. I love logan park – and your architecture shots and how did you get that angle on Wicker Park??? I also adore the bean and how much you can see in that funky shape… really gorgeous shots! I’m staggering that you see all of this in a city – I think most people just walk by and ignore it all. 🙂

    Montucky: Yeah I don’t get the impression you’re a big city person 🙂

    Tom A: Thanks! Chicago’s a great place to photograph, even though I just brought my little P&S camera.

    Tom: Thanks – I found myself liking Chicago more than I expected to. It’s a vibrant city with a rich culture.

    Aullori: Well thank you 🙂 The high angle on Wicker Park was because I was standing on the platform for the El. Next time I’ll have to bring my good camera, as the photo ops there were outstanding, although I was pretty happy with how most of my photos came out.

    Thanks, Ankush – the view from the 103rd floor was very nice, and we lucked out that it was a very clear day. Having never been to any of the Great Lakes before, they sure are big, even from that far up!
