Yes, this is a scene that'd have made me lift up the camera and try to sneak in a photo, too, without wanting to be intrusive, of course.
I wonder whereabouts in Chicago is Chinatown? I've been around (briefly) but didn't come across it. Where would I have needed to go?

The moment like this is really worth photographing!

yeah i kept my distance a tad, i was about 20 ft from them so wasnt really all up in their faces i really wanted to get in there and get different angles but felt that i'd be doing to much to make them uncomftorable. This is the exact location that i shot it at.

Although kind of small, Chinatown is a great place to visit. They have some really good food there, i'd recommend dim sum at Triple Crown. Thats where i ate and it was delicious!

Ah, thanks for letting me know where it is. Now I know for sure that we haven't been to that part of the city. Well, there might be a next time - who knows?

glad i can help. Its a really nice place to visit but dont drift to far outside of chinatown because it gets kinda bad a few blocks out!

Thanks for the warning! Being from Germany and living there, there is little likelihood I'm getting to be in Chicago again any time soon, although you never know...
