Been feeling a bit nostalgic the last few days (must be the head cold, cough medicine and brandy combo) and thought I'd rummage through the archives for some old b/w's. One of my favorite cities to visit is Chicago. Beautiful architecture, a buffet of history and one of the most breathtaking waterfronts (Navy Pier) in the U.S. I was flown out to shoot a wedding there a couple of years ago so as per my usual routine before a location shoot, I wandered the streets a day before the ceremony for some locations to take the couple for their portraits. Being a huge E.R. fan (watched every episode from its inception), this shot of the "L" with all the hustle and bustle pretty much encapsulated the whole Chicago vibe for me. I had a chance to ride the train and that in its self was a trip maker. Passing Wrigley field and watching the fans filing into the stadium you could almost smell the pine tar and popcorn. The train practically runs aside the stadium and you get a wonderful quick peek at the Cub Haven. The city of Chicago has a timeless quality about it and I've yet to skim the surface of fully exploring its more intimate areas. Shout out to Chicago. I'll be seeing y'all soon!
