Another shot from Critical Mass, passing through Chinatown. I love this shot, wish this guy's face was a little clearer :-) Can't wait for the next one.

Critical Mass was a lot of fun! Couldn't believe I did it, the waiting around Daley Plaza was testing my patience and it paid off. So amazing.

1800 N. Springfield Ave.

Taken yesterday on a bike ride through West Logan Square/Hermosa/Humboldt Park. Bloomingdale Ave is one of my favorite places in the city.

Decided to get the Polaroid out and use up a cartridge of film around Goose Island/Cabrini-Green area.

Here's one that I really like. Dilapidated basketball court at Cabrini-Green, housing in the background.

832 W. Haines St. (Color)

Shot of a factory building at Haines (old Ogden Ave)/Hooker St. on Goose Island. A bit of post-processing applied for dramatic effect. I could explore Goose Island for days, weeks... I think it's an integral part of Chicago.

119 N. Peoria St. (A)

Checking out the Banksy on Peoria again, I saw this wall further down south of Randolph. Love the geometry and monochromatic vs. pastel thing goin' on.

1838 W. Lawrence Ave.

Taken on the way home from Montrose Harbor at Wolcott and Lawrence. Woman waiting on the CTA bus with convenience store in the background.
