Nice picture OP, couple of questions though..

1. why has that guy got a purse?

2. Is chicago worth paying 500 quid to visit? Might be my next holiday!

Sorry its not too photo related, but its a nice scape you got there anyhow! Mines in England.

I am not the OP, but I thought I'd share a few of my Chicago pictures, because I love Chicago.

I didn't take too many photos whilst I was there. I was actually there to see Markus Schulz at Vision. I wish I had thought to take more photos.

And that's it for me. I have more I took, but they weren't very artistic in nature.

If you're coming from the east, it's quite econimical to stop in Michigan City at the Carol Ave. station for the South Shore line. It's a commuter train, so it will take longer than driving into Chicago, but usually about $8 one-way will take you from Carol Ave. in Michigan City (Free overnight parking) right to downtown Chicago at Milennium Station. It's what I did and I saved myself some extra gas, parking fees, driving downtown, and just finding parking in general. =]

If I had been a good photographer back in May of '06 when I took this, I'd have gone after an angle where there weren't people with bags standing in the background cluttering up my shot.

Oh man, that guy is awesome. I haven't seen him in a long time. Great violinist though, he's one of the few people of the street I make an effort to give some cash too.

But yeah, take the South Shore. Ir's fairly clean, and depending on when you hit it it will be full of quiet working class people.
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>92600
Yeah, I gave him like $5. He was awesome.

There was a jackass across the street who was drowning him out by playing the opening few bars of the Sanford & Son theme on a saxaphone. Like just repeating those opening bars, every few seconds. I wanted to stab him.

>>92601
Yup, that guy moves around a bit. Last I saw him he was at the Borders farther up the street. The violinist has moved to the Van Buren Train station, along with this great older guy who plays guitar. The best part of it is neither of these two guys (violinist and guitarist) really need to be doing it.

Would of been killer if you were eye-level with him and the girl.

Yep. I was even more of a pussy back then than I am now, though. As I recall, that was from the steps of the Chicago museum of art (so, quite a bit higher) and at the maximum tele end of my Minolta's zoom range. I'd like to think I'd suck less if I were to take it again today... But probably not.

I think you mean the Art Institute of Chicago. Completely different from a museum, it's smarter.

Also, here's a picture of a Walker Evans print.

(There was a FSA exhibit in the basement, which was my first exposure to the awesomeness that was the FSA photography project)

Depends. You'd probably want to do it during summer when it isn't slush and shit all over, but things get pretty expensive. If you can manage, come by during the Taste of Chicago - easiest way to sample the variety of foods we have to offer.
