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.
