One of My Favorite Places – Bartel Grassland
October 13, 2015
Bartel Grassland is one of my favorite places to visit. It’s got a lot going for it. It’s close to home, it’s big (585 acres), and there is a lot to see. If I have a little time on my hands I’ll head out there and take a walk. There’s open prairie, clumps of forest, […]

September 22, 2015
To say it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything here would be an understatement. I haven’t made very many pictures this summer. That might have something to do with it. I’m just starting to get back in the groove and will have more pictures to share soon. This is a scene from State Street in […]

It was late afternoon and the light was […]

Cloud Gate, aka The Bean is a big destination for tourists and locals alike. It’s a great place to people watch without a doubt. The view of the city from Millennium Park is nothing short of spectacular and it is for the most part, always crowded. Making a picture of The Bean without people in […]
231 S. LaSalle: The Slinky Proving Grounds
March 25, 2015
If ever there was a place to test out a Slinky, the north face of the 231 S. LaSalle building would be it. This is a view of the building from Quincy street and the more I look at it, I can only imagine what a long trip it would be if you had to […]
