Chicago's Sights and Brights

Gorgeous afternoon in Chicago. I remember taking this picture because of the sudden reflection that the buildings blinded into my eyes, as if they were calling me to turn and look at them. Ha, crazy, but true.

Another one of Chicago's many artistical doings. This building says Think Pink, which was shining bright against the evening sky. I thought it was a great contribution towards breast cancer. Thank you Chicago!

I'm crazy. What can I say? The background is actually one of the tall pillar buildings in Millenium Park, pretty cool, huh?

Contemporary Photograph Museum: Steel Worker & Juan Pachecho

This is a photograph of  a steel worker, south Chicago, from Changing Chicago Project, 1987. Collection of the MaCP.

This photograph is really intriguing due to Juan Pachecho's (the photographer) style. It's name is De Colores, 2007.

Contemporary Photograph Museum: A Sea of Humanity

This photograph portrays a sea of humanity estimated at 100,000 people, assemble in Plaza to support immigration rights, March 10, 2006.

The Bean!!!

One of Chicago's monumental sculptures; THE BEAN. It was so much bigger in person and I truly enjoyed just standing there staring at it. Definitely one of my favorite pieces of art in this beautiful Windy City.

Donald Young Gallery

I really enjoyed this piece from the Donald Young Gallery. For several reasons: 1) it's simplicity and the way the black and white feel really brings the ordinary into mysterious 2) It seems to portray a story that could leave the imagination running wild.

State Street Gallery

I was quite proud of myself for taking this picture through a window, because it is actually a really interesting and intriguing picture. It portrays many different paintings at different angles and it gives one  a glimpse of the other side of the gallery and the bustling street outside.

State Street Gallery

These two pieces of artwork were also taken from the State Street Gallery. As one can see it was mainly a oil painting gallery. I just wish it wasn't closed!
