Windy City

I love Chicago.

I'm on my way to the Eddie Adams Workshop but I flew into the Windy City for a few days to hang out with some of my former colleagues from the Northwest Herald before heading to New York. Today Lauren and I spent the day in the city having some fun and seeing some sights. I didn't do a bunch of touristy things while I was living here because, well, I wasn't a tourist. Now that I'm back for a few days I wanted to see the city with a different agenda.

After lunch at my favorite Turkish restaurant (read: hole in the wall), we picked up a few things at Calumet before stumbling across a really cool, old paper storage building. There was lots of great light lurking so we decided to hang out for a while and make a few frames.

Later we took the L down to the loop to check out the Sky Deck at the Willis Tower formerly known as the Sears Tower. After you've had the chance to check out the city from 1,353 feet above the ground you'll be convinced that it's hard to find a better view. We wrapped up the night with an outstanding sushi dinner at Tank in Lincoln Square with a group of former colleagues before heading back to the suburbs.

I'm headed to New York City in the afternoon. One great city after the next is the way to go. EAW XXII here I come.
