“…I bought an N70 and ran a few dozen rolls of film through it when I was in college. This was before I bought a D100 and before I realized that I connected with digital photography in a way I never could with film. I bought my girlfriend (now my wife) a camera as well and we took a day to walk around downtown Chicago snapping away. I remember going to Navy Pier and seeing the setting sun light up the lighthouses at the end of the breakers. It was a magical day and was one of the last times I went to Chicago’s version of Pinocchio’s Pleasure Island. I recently returned to capture the following image. It was just before sunrise and the place was deserted, no tourists and no churros. The swings were turning very slowly and most of the lights were put out, generating a rather creepy atmosphere. I connected with the place in a way I hadn’t since way back when … listen to Annie - don’t discount this place - pick your time and make it your own Chicago.” — Justin
