Photography Three

Construction of the Trump Tower.  This isn't even really an art photo, just a cool shot of something huge being built.

Looking into the sun with Marina City on the right.

A nice shot of a downtown L platform in the rain.

The Chicago River with the Trump Tower on the right.  Taken from the Michigan Avenue Bridge.

Flower bed in front of a home in the Gold Coast.  Again, not so much an artsy shot, I just like it.

Photography Two

North Pond in Lincoln Park, Chicago.  Again, done with a simple camera with film, not a digital.  This photo was not manipulated at all.

 By North Pond in Lincoln Park, Chicago.  Facing south.

Same path, facing north.

This is South Pond before they put up a boardwalk around it.  I kind of miss the way it was.

And North Pond again, from the west side facing south.

Photography One

So look, I've decided to post all visual art I've done...photographs, paintings, and so on and so forth.  But please, if you get a chance, go back and check out some of the stuff I posted when I first set up this gallery.

This is a black and white (obviously) of an alley in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago.  It actually might be a little bit closer to Old Town.  At any rate, that's the general area.

Keep in mind, these are scanned from the photographs themselves.  I do not have a digital camera.  Any effects done are done post scan.  Obviously, I've played with this shot of the north side of Chicago, taken from Lincoln Park, from one of the lagoons.  In the summer time, you can find folks canoeing and fishing in the lagoon.

A shot of winter from my window in Lakeview.  When it has been really cold, the area around my window ices over on the inside.

One of my favorite pictures...North Pond in Lincoln Park.  I like making photos look old...for example...

Yep, that's Al Gore.  And Arby's.  This was taken quite awhile ago when Gore was Grand Marshall at the St. Patrick's Day Parade.  I've very proud of this shot.

Thanks for checking them out, folks.  I'll post more in the days to come.
