Streets of Chicago

This weekend, I’m up in Naperville to cover the state soccer tournament. The team I’m here for, Peoria Christian, won last night and will play for the championship in a couple hours from now. Since I had the entire day to kill, I drove into downtown Chicago and wandered around with my digital camera, a 35 mm lens and a Holga for most of the day. I didn’t have any specific plans so I kind of drifted around looking for things that caught my eye. I even shot a few photos at a Richard Daley press conference (third photo) when I crossed paths with his entourage in Daley Plaza. My inspiration for the day came from one of my favorite blogs: Shooting from the Hip, by Chicago Tribune staffer Scott Strazzante. Like the blog’s author, I tried to make photos on the fly in a free-flowing manner.
