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.
