Voted "Favorite Building" by the readers of The Chicago Tribune in 1995. Office building with 36 stories and a height of 148 meters. Completed: 1983. Architects: Kohn Pedersen Fox.
Paul is part of a group show that is (no longer) up right now at the Eleanor Harwood Gallery. check it out, it's a good show.
This rainy downtown scene was captured about 15 minutes later than the previous photo (Divvy Bikes), also shot on the iPhone 6s Plus. The street level lighting artificially warmed up the otherwise cool tones of a wet and chilly late December afternoon. By the time we got from Daley Plaza, to Millennium Park, back to the Metra train station... we were quite wet. But all things seen and experienced and considered, it wasn't really bad at all!
Chicago is such a great town to wander through... even revisiting the same locations time and again is never quite the same experience twice. Should we ever move away from this area, I know I'll regret not spending more downtown time while it was only a Metra ride away.
Killing time waiting for a Metra train, I did a little URBEX trek under 3,000 tons of curing concrete held up by only the falsework columns seen either side of the concrete barriers
I still shoot some black & white film, but due to my recent love affair
with color, I find myself scanning my HP5 negs in RGB. I guess it's
the sort of compromise which may not always work...

The setting sun reflected in the 191 N. Wacker Building. This building and its next door neighbor at 333 W. Wacker were both designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates.
Taken from Wacker Tower. This building was finished in 1928 and is, unfortunately, now standing empty.
The crosswalk at Madison Street and the lighting pattern of the Lyric Opera's arcade create a seemingly endless pattern of stripes along Wacker Drive

The wind coupled with frigid temperatures is where I think Chicago gets its Windy City nickname. Damn was it cold today. I decided to go out during daylight hours knowing that it was going to get worse tonight. Anyway, this has to be one of my most favorite intersections in the Windy City.
I think this will be my next night shot scene. Perhaps some stacking software to enhance the light trails.
Stay tuned. Perhaps I'll dream up something different.
