Here are some photos from our recent trip to Chicago. I was really gripped by the city this visit: by the light, the spaces, the buildings, the history, the bustle, the visual collisions and contradictions. It's a stirring, lively place to photograph.
I took the last ten shots while on a fantastic
architecture boat tour offered by the Chicago Architecture Foundation. The city's a living building museum, and getting the chance to explore it by water was a treat.
I also geeked out over a few pieces of public art by Frank Stella, all part of his
Moby-Dick series. I included one of the pieces here; for more, check out
this post, where I collect & muse on the rest.
