  • Shot on a very cold November morning as the sun was obscured by the clouds and they sat on the city. The frame really changed as the sun poked through the clouds. Sunrise shots are always different in the city of Chicago. When you are shooting downtown Chicago around Sunrise you have to get there early enough to catch the pre-sunrise light, just like the post sunset light, it can sometimes be the best time to capture the city. Shot 11-3-13 as the sun rose over the city of Chicago, Illinois.

To see the sky light up as it did this morning was a gift. The first that seemed to emanate from the city was astonishing. Sunrise shots are always different in the city of Chicago.

  • A reflection of the Kinzie Bridge over the Chicago river in downtown Chicago on a gray morning in November.
  • Shot around 4am in the middle of downtown Chicago. The Harold Washington Library resides on south State Street and it was great to be able to shoot. <br /> <br /> Shooting on a Sunday morning at such an early time left me almost alone in the loop which is a crazy feeling when it's normally so populated. Shot on the morning of 12-8-13.
  • Shot around 4am in the middle of downtown Chicago. The Art Institute Lion are well known throughout the city and to been able to shoot it was great. Chicago is rich in architecture and it's just a matter of walking another block or two to change up the subject matter. <br /> <br /> Shooting on a Sunday morning at such an early time left me almost alone in the loop which is a crazy feeling when it's normally so populated. Shot on the morning of 12-8-13.
  • Shot around 4am in the middle of downtown Chicago. The post office and Federal Courthouse are right on the square behind this bar. Alexander Calder created this orange sculpture and it's truly a sight to behold again residing right behind this bar. <br /> <br /> Shooting on a Sunday morning at such an early time left me almost alone in the loop which is a crazy feeling when it's normally so populated.
