My once-concrete rule to never photograph people seems to be on shaky ground…
I spotted this woman in a photography gallery at the Art Institute and took what I thought was a test shot, to set up the one that I really wanted, on another wall of the gallery. But then her friend showed up, and they left before she made it that far.
But I tried.

Miss Hannah Harvey and her dad learn about mummies
Miss Hannah Harvey has an active and inquisitive mind – in addition to her interest in fashion design, she’s got a deep knowledge of Egyptian mythology (that she learned on her own) so of course this exhibit of mummies was fascinating. She and her dad enjoyed their time together, too – with their respective travel schedules (her – summer camp; him – Dubai), they’d been apart for a couple of weeks immediately prior to this Chicago excursion. It was easy to see that they’d missed each other!

Cloud Gate, 1
Miss Hannah Harvey was inspired by the open framework of the Pritzker Pavilion, and sat on a ledge to work on a dress design* and was completely unaware of the famous Cloud Gate sculpture right behind her. Art, as of course you know, just HAS to come before sightseeing.
