Near West Side
How was your Saturday? We had an unexpected turn of events yesterday and we got blessed with this beautiful sunrise. I guess you got to be in it to win it! Intense sky color was happening on the right side and my hope was that it will bleed all the way where we were standing by the time sun gets higher. It wasn’t as spectacular as I was hopping it would be, but I’m extremely satisfied. What do you think?
Do you have any big plans for the weekend? We personally don’t have anything major in plans but we will do something small and interesting. So until we come back with some new images, hopefully, I had to post some new work from Chicago. This is a frame from a few weeks back when the evening was nothing short of a magical. We even got to capture the amazing “Union Pacific” Engine. What do you think?
Do you like this perspective? I had a blast going around the south loop the other night with my friend. We discovered few new spots but unfortunately I was too late for this one that evening. The moon was about to turn full so I had to go back and try to capture this frame again. This is the 10 image composite photographed to capture the crazy dynamic range of this scene from early sunset to full dark. What do you think?
TGIF right? Hope your week went well and you manage to do something fun for the weekend, even if it is indoors. I guess some days you just have to create your own sunshine! What do you think?

I think that we all need a little more sunshine? The weather is pretty gloomy lately here in Chicago, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying a day out on board CFL Cruises. The dramatic conditions were actually a perfect fit for photography at that time of the day. Chicago Architecture Center and Chicago’s First Lady crew kept the atmosphere interesting all the way. This is another shot from that day taken with my infrared rig. What do you think?
Can you believe that September is almost here? While enjoying the last few days off I stumbled upon this part of the town. This is another time blend that took around 2h from start to finish and I’m really happy with it! What do you think?

I was traveling. I found myself stranded in Chicago without any assistance from the airlines to get me home. I decided to try the train. I arrived at the station very early. There were hardly any people which was a very big contrast to the airport.
Is it almost gone? I feel that Wolf Point views are about to change for good and I’m not sure that is going to be a change for the better. I guess we will have to wait to see. In the meanwhile this is my own spin on the beautiful riverwalk at sunset. What do you think

This rain is kinda annoying, don’t you feel the same? Since is very dark, gloomy and cold outside again I have to revert back to this totally unexpected sun burn from few days ago. What a spectacle it was! You were able to see “Undulatus asperatus” clouds starting to form and we were just standing there hoping that something will change at the last moment. And it sure did. That amazing light came trough and everything came to life. What do you think?
TGIF, I hope you feel the same? Another week is behind us and a lots of other things with it. Spending time with my wife and friends while making some art is in the plans. This is an image from one of those mornings when despite the bad weather predictions we went out just because we like being out, no expectations. What do you think?
