While going through Chicago photos for my last couple of posts I ran across this one and thought I would share. The Bean is a fascinating piece of modern, urban art that is an inexhaustible photographic subject. It’s fun too!

ta da!
The great WordPress mystery is solved at last! You can see in this image of the Jay Pritzger Pavilion in Millennium Park, Chicago, that my previous post was an image of the structure that floats above the lawn that provides a grid for the sound system. I have taken quite a few pictures here, but it is a modern, massive, wonder, so I find it hard to capture.

jay pritzker revisited
Hope you are not getting too tired of all these Chicago images! This is the Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park, Chicago. I have officially given this crazy pavilion the title of “the most difficult location/structure/….thing to photograph…. in the universe!” I have a couple of other images of this pavilion here and here. The beautiful, asymmetrical design of the architecture, along with the network of tubes that are suspended above the grassy area to hold the speakers for the sound system, all create a “busy” location to try and photograph. Still, it is a beautiful pavilion, and serves as a centerpiece of the recreational and concert life of Chicago.

Taken moments before The Bean swallowed me whole. I had enough time to take this shot, grab the SD card and throw it to freedom. I then snapped my shutter three times while saying, “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.” That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Not much of a challenge here, but I have to find some way to justify sharing all these picture of The Bean 🙂 Just one more after this one…. I promise.
where’s carlos?
Welcome to the 1st of 3 “where’s carlos?” images featuring the always fun and crazy Cloud Gate, a.k.a., The Bean. First prize for the correct answer is….well……. …..actually….. I don’t have any prizes. The bragging rights, however, are yours!

Technically speaking, this would be looking right up into the nostrils of the face from the previous post.
what the bean saw
Back to Millennium Park for this post. Chicago is a remarkable city to experience as a photographer. I hope to take some more time this year to enjoy the architecture and parks of the Windy City.
the face of a city
I have not researched this yet to know the artist(s) or project, but there are at least four of these giant heads in and around Millennium Park in Chicago. This one makes a nice addition to the skyline, don’t you think?
