Description
This upload has absolutely nothing to do with the holidays. Frankly, I've begun to tire of the holidays. I made this picture late last summer when Chip and I went downtown to photonavigate on the night before I went into the hospital for my heart surgery. This was one of about 300 pix made that night ( that have been whittled down to about 50 in the last few months; every boy needs a hobby), and is among my favorites of the batch.
Photographed somewhere on Wacker Drive along the river in downtown Chicago on September 20, 2010.
Thanks to Mark for the hysterical Eric Idle anti-xmas song link on Utube. Really made my day!

A man with three buttocks? Well...you start a Monty Python riff and that's how I finish it. As for this shot: I love it and I remember the night it was taken. Chicago has a way of seeming like a city when you look at it from Wacker Drive...a bona-fide city, with prospects. That's always a good thing. I love the darkness in this shot and that grid-pattern to the grating. The whisper of a cab's fender in this is really nice, as is the low angle of this shot. This is absolutely fantastic. I like it immensely.

LOVE the low-angle shot highlighting the grating of the crosswalk. I know Chip already mentioned it, but really ... it's worth mentioning again. The cars waiting for the light make me think of a drag race, and the people on the corner couldn't have been more perfectly positioned. This has so many excellent elements in it, I keep going back to look again and again!

Exciting shot Corey! Love it! Everyone has already said it but I love the lighting, the grid on the street, the car bumper- all the action and excitement of living in Chicago. And glad to hear that you are sick of the holiday season too - REALLY ready to move into the new year :)

I'll repeat what's been said, the lighting and grill are fantastic. Wonderful black and gold tones and vertical lines. I like the strong gold line that runs up to the top edge of the image. Excellent POV, lighting, and composition. Superb shot! Now I'm off to Google 'Eric Idle anti-xmas'

This rather reminds me of my time living in London. Nights were the only time I actually liked being there. The feel of a city is so very different when one walks it hand in hand with darkness. For me, it's all about colour, especially a golden hue. So much more friendly that the florescent glare more usually seen. Fabulously warm image. ^=^
