This shot truly brought me back to my 2014 Iceland trip which I often write about here. These ice chunks formed along the North Ave. Beach Jetty, and I found myself rolling around in this mess trying to get an ultra low perspective with the skyline.

This is St. Anne Catholic Church in Barrington, IL. I hadn't planned on shooting here but I caught some good light and this seemed like it had potential for a decent shot.

This was taken the other morning on what was actually a pretty mild mid-thirty degree morning. While I generally am not a fan of our Chicago winters, I welcome the change in season this year as it presents some new photo opportunities.

After last weeks photo shoot in the extreme cold, it was very refreshing going out this week in the mid 30s. So much so, in fact, that I took this shot practically rolling around on the frozen concrete.

This is a long exposure - 85 seconds to be exact - of the Chicago Skyline from one of my favorites spots, just north of Oak Street Beach on the Lake Shore Path.

This shot definitely has a 'cool' feel to it. I really like the contrast of the violet sky and amber light coming from the inside of the building. I'd be lying if I said I had considered this when setting up for the shot, but sometimes you just get lucky.

Here is an older shot from 18th street of the Skyline and Ping Tom park in Chinatown. This shot was taken in early October.

I went on a parking garage expedition the other morning, trying to find some unique perspectives of the city. I came across this excellent view of the Willis (or Sears) Tower.
