Description


There are a lot of things that annoy me about Chicago, but an equal number that I enjoy. One of them is the fact that there's always something to do. A lot of these things are, unfortunately, becoming increasingly expensive (like going to first-run plays at places like the Chicago Theater,) and have gone out of reach for someone of my limited means. There are, however, any number of things even a starving artist can take part in: free days at the museums; free movies in the parks during summer; the parks themselves; miles of beaches, and the thrill of going downtown. There's the even bigger thrill of being able to make pictures of all of it. This picture was made (for free) on State Street in downtown Chicago, on November 4th, 2009.

I remember the night you took this picture! Borders Books is right there and we were just inside...looking at something. I think I might have purchased something as well, though now I can't remember. Oh well...but hey, this is a great shot. I love night time photography, especially if it's urban; you really caught the urban vibe here. I love the colors and the sense of buzzing electricity in the air. Downtown gets that way at times and yeah, photographing is is free which makes it twice the fun. This is a great shot, especially in terms of the human focus. Great stuff!

This has such a familiar look and feel to it. It's been almost a year since that ninja experience and it seems like yesterday. Great shot, full of life and light and people moving everywhere!!

Oooooooohh ... I like this VERY much! It has such a great vibe ... I can feel what it's like walking down a Chicago street. You've brought me with you, and it's like I'm standing there making this picture. Immediate and vibrant!

I love shows and can not afford them often, even the greatly reduced, on the road ones, that we get here. I love your image! There is the overall golden glow of night lights in a city and excellent details. The composition of people in motion is wonderful. One individual moving perpendicular to the wave of pedestrians, and one leaning against the wall with only the glow of a cigarette to indicate motion. I love the balls of light and the square reflections of light on the pavement, the strides of the pedestrians beneath the long strides of a turkey in a pilgrims hat, and the feeling of a city in motion. Excellent shot!

Great shot Corey. State Street has changed since I saw it last. Gives me butterflies just looking at the busyness of it. They roll up the sidewalks at 5 PM in downtown Venice. Have forgotten how much life there is after dark in a big city. You captured it beautifully. Wish I was there.

I'm with Chip. I love night time photography. It's magic.. all the flaws seen in the harsh daylight are hidden, and the signs, buildings, streets etc take on a new life, as if the moonlight and artificial lights, and passing cars resuscitate life back into the city. I'm strange, what can I say.. lol.
