    The Windy City

    My sister is moving to the suburbs of Chicago which means regular visits into the city! There's just so much to take pictures of I didn't know which way to turn. I come from a town of 2,000 people...so going to the big city is always fun!

    Love #2. Great perspective! #4 the selective coloring is kind of distracting. Try framing your images, makes them pop!

    Thanks, would love to add frames to my pics, but it just takes too much time!

    Robocop looks like he should be walking instead of using a Segway. {I am no one to talk though...}

    Good shots. I would desaturate the red abit on the sculpture. I love the isolation effect you did, but the red is so bright it is distracting to me.

    The cool thing about chicago is it doesn't matter which direction you choose to walk!

    If you get lost or too far from your origin just hop on pt. If you get a chance, venture out of the loop and visit the neighberhoods. If you are ever in the north 'hoods hit me up.

    Hey, good idea about the sculpture. I felt it was a bit much, I'll try desaturating it. Yeah hopefully I'll get a chance to venture to places other than the touristy places. Looking forward to it!

    Robocop is a great catch!
    I also like that 3rd image.

    I'm not responsible for my photographs. Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience. It's drowning yourself, dissolving yourself, and then sniff, sniff, sniff – being sensitive to coincidence. You can't go looking for it; you can't want it, or you won't get it. First you must lose your self. Then it happens. -Henri Cartier-Bresson
