p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · South Side of Chicago


This is a view of Chicago from the south side of the city. It's a view that I haven't often seen photographed before. Typically, the skyline is photographed from the east. My next photo shoot will capture images from the west side.

These really evoke the images told in Carl Sandburg's "Chicago."

Thanks Shane...I didn't continue shooting into the night yesterday since most buildings go dark on a Saturday. But, I plan to return to shoot on a weeknight when the offices are lit.

Thanks! It's funny you should mention that. During the entire photo shoot, I kept thinking that the scenes reminded me very much of The City of Big Shoulders.

I was a Bears season ticket holder for many years. These days, I watch the games on TV. The way the Bear defense is this year, it might be best to stay away for a few years!

If you want to get a great shot from the West get on the CTA and go to Ashland and Lake. There is a CTA stop and a bridge over the tracks. Arguably one of the very best views from the West.

I like 1, 6 , & 7. I think you've nailed the compositions from the 18th street bridge (?). You also made the most of the late afternoon sun; it looks like you just took these images. This said, I would make another attempt to reshoot when we gets some fresh snow on the ground. Snow and some low level clouds and you'll have a wall hanger

Thanks for the recommendation!

Yes...these were captured yesterday just before the sun went down. I found easy and free parking right by the bridge, so I plan to return at a later date.
