Why yes, I do have more color photos to share with you…for now. I need to finish editing the rest.

Photo Information:
Camera: Hasselblad 500CM
Lens: Carl Zeiss 50mm f/4 Distagon (Photo 1); 80mm f/2.8 Planar (Photo 2); 250mm f/5.6 Sonnar (Photo 3)
Film: Kodak Portra 160 (120)
Photo 1:
Location: Chicago, Illinois; Streeterville Neighborhood
Yes, the Wrigley Building (left; completed in 1924 and designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst, & White) and the Tribune Tower (right; completed in 1925 and designed by Howells & Hood) at the south end of the Mag Mile. Don’t they look nice in the evening light?
Photos 2 & 3:
Location: Chicago, Illinois; Lincoln Park
Yup…sunrise shots. Note: I have no idea what that object on the Lake is (it’s clearly visible in Photo 3, to the right of the Sun); there are a couple of these at various points offshore, and I’ve seen one of them up-close. I still don’t have a clue what they are…they’re too big to be navigation buoys, but they don’t appear to be large enough to be manned platforms – at least, not for any significant length of time (I think). They’re a mystery.
Enjoy.

Photo Information:
Camera: Hasselblad 500CM
Lens: Carl Zeiss 50mm f/4 Distagon (Photo 1); 80mm f/2.8 Planar (Photos 2 & 3)
Film: Kodak Portra 160 (120)
Photo 1:
Location: Chicago, Illinois; Chicago Loop
This is a view of the Chicago River from the Lake Shore Drive Bridge, facing west; the Loop is on the left, and the Streeterville Neighborhood is on the right.
Photos 2 & 3:
Location: Chicago, Illinois; Uptown Neighborhood
These two photos are of the Uptown Broadway Building (completed in 1927 and designed by Wwalter W. Ahlschlager); I’ve photographed this building before, but not in color…which is why I’m posting these shots! As you can see, the terra cotta detailing is mostly rendered in pale yellow with sky-blue highlights.
Enjoy!

Hey look…first post of the new year!

Photo Information:
Location: Chicago, Illinois; Edgewater Neighborhood
Camera: Hasselblad 500CM
Lens: Carl Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 Planar
Film: Kodak Portra 160 (120)
The subject of these photos is the Belle Shore Hotel (completed in 1929 and designed by Koenigsberg & Weisfeld) in the Edgewater Neighborhood; it’s located in the Bryn Mawr historical district. I’ve photographed this building before, but that was in black & white, which of course, doesn’t do justice to the phenomenal green stone and yellow brick façade, or the polychromatic details. Oh, and check out that magnificent sunburst over the main entry door.
Enjoy.
