Saint Anthony
I don’t know that I have ever seen a hospital advertisement on a bridge. It did make me wonder about the safety of the road ahead – like maybe if you got in a wreck, you’d remember that the last thing you’d seen said “Saint Anthony Hospital” and you’d be coherent enough to tell the EMS that was where you wanted to be taken.
And on another note, that bridge itself looks like it might need some kind of medical attention.

During my trip to Chicago, I was working on an assignment for an online photography class on narrow depth of field. Because I was sort of obsessive about looking for photos to submit for the image review, and because I had already thought about the possibilities at a Cubs game, I was ready when the gentleman a few rows ahead of me held his phone up to get a photo of the action. Without that assignment in my head, I probably wouldn’t have even noticed what he was doing. It was nice of him to help me with my assignment, don’t you think?

That afternoon light did me a huge favor, spotlighting the bridge tower like that. And then a boat went by! It was practically an embarrassment of photographic riches, and that’s even without the iconic Chicago Tribune sign over there on the right side….

Many rectangles, lots of bounced light, and a camera: a recipe for a photograph.

Crown Fountain: 9:00 pm
A completely unplanned nighttime walk around my little part of Chicago led me to a free concert at the Pritzker Pavilion, some attempts at low-light street photography around Cloud Gate, and this set of silhouettes against Crown Fountain. It was my last night in the city and I think it provided me with a lovely parting gift.
