The Christmas story began not in a four-star hotel, but in a manger, where animals and wanderers lived, much like Lower Wacker Drive in Chicago...The perfect place to celebrate this season of peace, good will, and hope for all mankind :) I wanted to contrast the grit and dark of this place with the bright decorations of the season. Enjoy!
You know...I actually want this thing, despite the "jokes" it says. He'd look great next to my MirrorMask Sphinx. I guess his name is Boney Barney.
On the way back, Dad taught me how to make a poplar whistle. It can only be made in early spring, when the sap is still running under the bark. It involves cutting and sliding the bark off, then carving the whistle-parts into the wood, then slipping the bark back on. Here, Dad is wacking the bark, so he can slide it off. He used to make them for us when we were kids.
Chris Smith organized a great photo walk tonight beginning at Millennium Park, over to Daley Plaza for the Christkindlmarket and then over to Michigan Avenue (where I shot this view of Wacker Drive . . . from just west of the Wrigley Building)

In this world of product as art and art as product it's refreshing to see artists who just shred and thrash around the subject of being human. Like most artists from Berkley, Oakland and San Fransico's mission district (read Beautiful Losers) Skinner, Jay Howell and Scott Barry all reflect the naked humanity that popular art seems to miss.
Scott Barry is a classic new breed artist/designer. Not simply limited to doodling, painting or sewing he shames west coast art directors by making wonder-filled ideas easy to understand. His communications are solid and bold enough to change the way you think.
Skinner is a freak, a spaz and full of energy. His wild style is a tiger attack on innocence. Discribing his own work Skinner thinks of it as, "a psychedelic barrage of fantastical monstrosities brought to life through the mind of an obsessed child".
Jay Howell was interviewed on Fecal Face recently and when asked if he had a mantra he said, "Take a stand against the jerks from hell. They are out there and they want you to feel bad just because they do. You will not be taken down, YOU are from Tuff Town and they are from the lame village across the river. We launch rocks at them for a reason." Jay's work backs these words up, better then any fan-boy words I could wack out right now.

The curved green glass facade of 333 Wacker Drive as seen from the Chicago River architectural tour.
From Wiki: "333 Wacker Drive was featured in the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off as the building containing Ferris Bueller's father's offices, and was voted "Favorite Building" by the readers of The Chicago Tribune in 1995."
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
No matter how often I shoot it- it's still one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE buildings,
in a town
of amazing architecture.
A true ( & timeless) classic!
Kudo's KPF-
a job well done.
HDR with 3 exposures. Increased distortion in post with LR3 to create a fish-eye like effect. I believe the composition is a bit tight.
