Here's a challenge for you. You get one hour at The Bean to make 100 unique images of the The Bean. If you do it and put them together into a collage or on a website, I'll put it on OutofChicago.com. try to make the images as unique as possible.
I posted earlier other images of these three women jumping in front of the Cloud Gate sculpture in Chicago's Millennium Park. This image is from a different angle. Yes, the women jumped a few times as their friend or a bystander captured them.
the cloudgate a.k.a the bean in chicago attracts swarms of visitors almost all year round to immerse themselves in the light distorting weirdness it provides. for myself I love taking people there to watch their reaction as the powerful waves of fascination and wonder eminating from the beaniverse slowly catch them up and draw out a little of their inner child. also, it's just great to photograph :)
kids are the best because they don't have to pretend to be grown up about it and will explore it with abandon. last time I was there I saw a boy licking the sculpture and trying to look down his own throat at the same time. I almost dropped my camera laughing.

The crowd was massive at "Luminous Field", a light and sound show at the Cloud Gate sculpture in Chicago's Millennium Park, so I decided to include them as part of the image.
I shot this as a storm was moving in - it was severe enough that it canceled the sunset shot we had planned along with every other attempt to shoot that evening. This was the only shot I came away with, but I like how it turned out.
I spent the weekend in Chicago and took this shot while standing beneath Cloud Gate in Millennium Park.
I've dreamed of visiting the famous bean / cloud gate every since it was made! Finally I am able to see the ridiculously shiny round red blood cell in person.
We woke up at 4am (after going to bed around 3am) and figured our way there. I guess I miscalculated it, we were in the dark for about 2 hours. Anyway, got some amazing night shots and sunrise shots! Once the sun came out we started day 2's engagement shoot (separate album).
Chicago is such a beautiful city.
Enjoy!
Cloudgate, Millenium Park, Chicago, Illinois.

Happy New Year!

It's not the best quality since I took this with my point and shoot didn't feel like carrying my Canon around this day but I wish I had .... it was too cold anyway and well my ISO was probably off and and I was rushing back to get home before it got too dark because I took the blue line train to get there.
Three little maids from school are we
Pert as a school-girl well can be
Filled to the brim with girlish glee
Three little maids from school
Everything is a source of fun
Nobody's safe, for we care for none
Life is a joke that's just begun
Three little maids from school
