Recently I had and opportunity to have access to two rooms in the Hard Rock Hotel here in Chicago. It was one of the things on my bucket list since I moved here and I’m happy that I got the chance to get the shots from this location the way I wanted. This particular view was very interesting because it reminded me of the movie Rear Window. An interesting urban living story. I opt for this frame because it showcase not just the grand city architecture but also urban living. It is almost like watching the ant farm in my opinion. It is beautiful and scary in the same time. What do you think?
Ever heard about BURNHAM’S PLAN OF CHICAGO? Me neither, all until I started reading about the subject. I wanted to dig deep and find out more about Chicago’s architecture and people behind it. I discovered a ton of names and stiles and I want name them all now, all I can say that they did a great job. I know that many don’t pay attention to those details, bridges they cross, streets they walk on every day, but I’m pretty sure you’ve heard about Magnificent mile. This is a part of that route and the DUSABLE BRIDGE is the extension that connects the Michigan Avenue to the other side of the river. What better way to showcase all this great architecture than looking down the Michigan Avenue from the Hard Rock Hotel. Another gem in the downtown area and a very cool place. I got to stay there for one night as a present from someone who knows how much I love doing what I do. Big thank you to HRH team for making my stay in this room possible. At the end, with a bit of luck and some help from the great HRH stuff I got to experience this vistas from the best room in the house. So what do you think?
