Description
I've been having a great time playing in postwork. (Can you tell??)
This is the Rock-n-Roll McDonalds on Ontario in Chicago. It's sort of next door and across the street from the Hard Rock Cafe, but the thing I like best about this place is that it's five blocks from Reza's. :D
Some day I'll be done posting photographs from my Chicago trip (and I'll stop talking about Reza's every other day), and you'll all faint from shock. That day hasn't arrived yet! What's the point of going on vacation if you can't make your friends look at all your pictures when you get home? :P LOL!

Good one. A B&W in low light. And you are following precedent...you went in September...I went in June and am still digging around in my Chicago files:) This pic tonight is special for another reason...this is the original architectural design of McDs dating back to store #1 in Des Plaines, Illinois, April 1955. A fun digi-fiddle.

This takes me back. I can remember when the signs they used to have said '1000's served'. Wonderful post work.

You even manage to make McDonalds look attractive...you have achieved the impossible! (But I still wouldn't put what they sell near my face.)

Excellent shot and postwork! Looks like the old McDonald's from back in the late 1950s to early 1960s when I was little. But they weren't three stories high. Wow! :D

In your face and fun, like Rock-n-Roll. Love the motion of the cars and the strong contrast between bright lights and dark night. Great effects!

WOW! I remember Corey and I standing there, amazed that they'd changed the place! Shows how often we get to that part of downtown. What I notice is the fact that for all of its updating and expansion, it DOES recall the shape of the classic McDonalds, especially the very first McDonald's ever. It's in Des Plains and serves as a museum, what's funny about it is the fact that it's across the street from...well...from McDonalds. The post work is fantastic here. It really makes this place look authentic, which I guess is what the architects had in mind...but you've gone one step beyond that and brought back some of the giddy fun that McDonald's used to represent, way back in a more innocent, less media-saturated age. Wonderful work! I love it.

Wow! Looks cool in b&w and it looks like you are having Tara. I can image you going to South America and burning up your camera taking pictures!

FREAKY! When I first saw this in thumbnail I thought it was a sci-fi space ship. And even after I figured out what it was it STILL looked like a sci-fi space ship. Was Ray Krock from outerspace? Spreading his world conquering seed-pods all over the place and turning the Human race into willing slaves jonsing for ever more " special sauce " ? Have you ever tried to get a McDonald's employee to tell you what the EXACT ingredients are in " special sauce "? Hmmmmmmmmm. Makes one wonder. But I digress... This is a wonderful shot, compelling and other-worldly. The b&w is a nice touch and as Chip says adds to the general aura of original authenticity. There's a nice drama as well that reminds me of nocturnal shots of New York City in the Fifties, or something in the background in an episode of Naked City. Wonderful work. And what's wrong with vacation pix? I made so many shots while you guys were visiting that at the rate I'm presently posting, they'll probably be strung through other posts until at least 2015. Great work.
