Grant Park

My last class of the week is over Thursday mornings at 11. So, today I put on my new jacket to keep me dry from the persistent drizzle and unfazed by the wind, DAP to enjoy some Yo Yo Ma and a great podcast, a beanie, and my camera bag, and took a walk through Grant and Millennium Parks here in Chicago. I ended my couple-hour outing with some great soup and a sandwich on the walk home. Gotta love Chicago.

this is so called the fall mat :) very colorful and has artistic texture. we only see this mat for 2 to 3 weeks may be in the whole year, that makes it so precious for shooting. I wish I have enough time to spend every moment of the fall shooting portraits and landscapes. wishful thinking ... man

christopherdale says:

Thanks, guys.

@Abraaj: "Fall mat", eh? Never heard that term, but it's quite apropos.

@Layne, of course you can; there's hardly a higher compliment that can be given :)

Oh - and excellent music choice, by the way ;)
may be a stupid question, though - what's DAP?
Posted 37 months ago. ( permalink )

christopherdale says:

@Maya: DAP = digital audio player. I had "iPod Nano" there, but a buddy called out all my name/label-dropping, so I changed it for the more generic term :)

The perspective you chose for this gem of a shot is really effective at drawing the eye all the way into the back of the scene. Great job!
