Little Flamingo


This lovely photo of Alexander Calder's sculpture Flamingo was taken from the top of the Sears Tower by Katie Scully. The perfect straightness of the buildings give it a cool designed edge, but the warm colors add a friendliness and playfulness to the photo. Basically, it rocks.

'Flamingo' is one of my favorite sculptures, but, I gotta say, the name is awful, sorry Alex.

Again with the shrinkify effect, more commonly known as 'tilt-shift.' This is a photo from Hubbard Street in Chicago, right behind Michigan Avenue. I did some pretty complex masking in Photoshop to simulate a tight focus. Look at the tall lamp post on the right and you'll see what I'm talking about...

Here's a photo I took recently. The clouds were really intense, they seem to echo the shapes in this bowling alley. The tops of the cars add another layer to the cloudlike feel, I think. I'm quite happy with this particular shot...

Here's a shot of Chicago's Trump Tower that's nearing completion. The dark shadow in the center is the reflection of the IBM Building which sits directly across the street. The yellow speck is a batch of concrete being lifted to the top.
