Chicago Nights

For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to wander around the streets of Chicago with a camera (and no tripod) after a night out at Rush & Division (all shots were taken post-2AM). Surprisingly, some of the photographs came back non-blurred. It's amazing how empty the streets look in some shots... several hours prior, you could barely move because there were so many people out for Black Friday.

Chicago Architecture

View from hotel room at Affinia (if you look really close, you can see me in the building reflection). It's kind of crazy to think that even though I'm on the 29th floor, I'm still surrounded by buildings twice as tall.

So... I meant to walk around the city of Chicago on Friday to do some shopping and take some pictures... but it was black Friday and the streets were INSANELY packed with shoppers, protesters, religious preachers, and street performers. I didn't make it out of a two block radius. Nonetheless, I still think I managed to capture some interesting pictures. Enjoy!

Water Tower - NYC

Looking up at one of the many water towers in NYC.

Golden tower.

I went on a day trip to NYC this week and got a chance to walk around the city a bit. One of my favorite things about NYC architecture are the water towers. It's something that's inherently unique to the city.  I just happened to be walking down the street when I noticed that one of the water towers appeared to be glowing. The sun had gotten into a perfect position behind it. Kind of a cool shot.
