Frozen Fun Festival
We ventured up to Millenium Park this past weekend to meet up with some fellow photographers from the Chicagoland Digital Photography Meetup Group to shoot at the Frozen Fun Festival. It is always fun to meet up with this group. Very cool people and the destinations are always interesting.
What was more interesting was the weather. We got up there early and it was already in the 60′s! I talked with one of the ice sculptors and he just rolled his eyes. They had to reorder ice slabs for the portraits and the ice maze was closed due to the fact that it was melting! I didn’t see anyone complaining though, and the kids sure looked like they were having a blast!
The cool thing about Millenium Park though is if you can’t find something to photograph, you just aren’t looking! People pictures galore and one of the coolest skylines in the world. Not to mention the Bean.
Everyone met back up and we went to the Corner Bakery for a bite to eat. Kieran became an instant fan of the Lemon Bars! Most everyone was staying put to shoot the Michigan Ave fireworks but we had to blast home in order to shoot a hockey game in Orland Park. I hope they have another fireworks meetup in the future. Some of the posted photos looked really nice!
This weekend we are heading back to check out Snow Days Chicago. This looks like it could be a lot of fun. Hope to see you there!
