Photos from the Concrete Jungle

I'm more of a photographer than a writer, so you should expect that I will regularly contribute photos from my every day life here. I'm starting that off with a few obligatory/touristy downtown shots. I take the train all over the city every day, generally to the North or Northwest side, so I'm also including some pictures from my commutes this weekend. 

As if I haven't been to Millenium Park enough in my life growing up in Chicago, here is an obligatory Bean-Shot for all to enjoy. "The Bean," also known as "Cloud Gate" is a statue in Chicago's Millenium Park. Every tourist takes a million pictures of it. Come to Chicago and get some pictures of it yourself.

A performer (whose name I'm unsure of) at a show I went to in Logan Square.

A camera operator filming a newscaster at one of ABC's studios which is visable from the street.

Finally, a skeptical look from Professor Albert Fernandez taken just before class. 

Thanks for looking.

Wow, the first few pictures are amazing!

I particularly like the one taken at Michigan Avenue. Art among Concrete. :)
