The architect echoed the ellipsoid shape of the stairwell, one of the museum's most photographed features. MCA Staircase was designed by Josef Paul Kleihues. Chicago, Il.
I just went thru an old photo folder & figured I might as well post up a bunch of older photos, hope you enjoy.
This is from a show I did w/Magmo at the Orchard Street gallery, it was fun.
F-22A 08-4165 of the Raptor Demo Team goes through the paces while performing at the annual Miramar air show.
If you squint your eyes and use a little imagination, it kinda looks like a Tomcat!
Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Stairs
The MCA offers exhibitions of the most thought-provoking art created since 1945. The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago is located at 220 East Chicago Avenue, just one block east of Michigan Avenue, in the heart of the Magnificent Mile in downtown Chicago.
I was unable to take more pics @ MCA as photography is prohibited inside all those galleries :( :(

A famous staircase at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA).
On a related issue, I've seen the "Prisoner of Love" exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and I was most-impressed by its social and societal message. I was deeply impressed by the seven-minute clip montage titled "Love Is The Message, The Message Is Death", which speaks pretty-loudly about the experience of living in the United States as seen from the perspective of the African-Americans. It was an eye-opening experience for someone coming from Europe, that would make my hair stand on its end at times. Having seen the famous Tate museum in London, and having been somewhat dissapointed by its nonsense art (seen through the eyes of an engineer), I was most impressed by the Chicago MCA's exhibitions with its strong social and societal messages. It was an inspirational and thought-provoking experience. One that I would highly recommend.

The north stairwell, one of the museum’s most photographed features.:
This is for my friend Olivia
She has an absolutely inspiring photostream, and also is one of my favorite photographers (not only on flickr). She is one of the nicest person that I met in the US. Olivia, I hope you like this, I have been trying to shoot something that would resemble your amazing style, however I figured out that I still have to work a lot to get there :)
16-08204 Boeing CH-47F Chinook Hawaii based and seen at the Kaneohe Bay air show of August 2025. The other side has extra markings below the rear rotorhead.
i rented the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 vr (MSRP $1700) from adorama for $45 total for 24 hours. not a bad deal, imho.
i had read alot of security not allowing zoom/large/slr lenses in this venue, so i planned/executed this following scheme.
i walked in alone without my wife & friends. i carried my d80 body only & small 35mmf20 lens. removed the SD card, stuck in 5th pocket. gave one battery to friend, one to wife. gave huge 70-200vr to wife (she is pretty- security guards let her get away with more, i have found).
as i walked in, one security said, wait, its a large camera. he called over another guard, who said, nah, only "large" lenses are not allowed. they didnt even check my wife's bag.
when the band finally started playing, and it got dark, i reached down and pulled out my 70-200. it was huge. i didnt have a chance to practice before the show, so it got some getting used to, but, overall, i was happy with it. i was in the center of the crowd.
around 30 minutes into the show, a huge (!!!) security guard grabbed me, said in my ear "you will put away that professional camera right now!" i said "ok", and tried to enjoy the rest of the show
overall, i think its a dumb rule. simply b/c the method the (un-knowledgeable) guards use is simply based on size. so once DSLRs shrink, it will be ok? or all cameras will not be allowed? or P&Ss in the front row should be allowed?
