Field / LaSalle / Bank of America by The New No. 2

Field / LaSalle / Bank of America

Continuing my forgotten shots of 2009 theme....

Built between 1928 and 1934 the Field Building in Chicago was the last major office building built in downtown Chicago for nearly two decades. This building remains one of the best examples of Art Deco in Chicago.

Fading by The New No. 2

Fading

This continues my series of shots from 2009 that never quite made it up on flickr until now.

This old church on Chicago's north side has long sat empty. Over the years there have been several parties that have come forth and offered to save the building but for one reason or another the deals always fell apart. Earlier this year a deal was seemingly struck at the last minute to convert the main building into senior housing. But since the announcement progress has been slow moving and technically the archdiocese still owns the building and has a permit for its demolition.

Whatever the outcome it seems unlikely that this view will remain much longer.

The native resolution of this stitched image is about 12,000 x 10,000 pixels. In other words you could make a tack sharp print that would be about 40 in x 33 in.

Check out the larger view.

Or check out this huge version. Note this is still only about 20% of the full res file.

Here is a tighter shot taken a week earlier.

ISO 200 - f/8 - 6 sec. - 70 shots

Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer by The New No. 2

Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer

It is time for me to begin going through photos I took earlier in the year that never quite made it to flickr.

Here we see the USAF Thunderbirds soaring into the Chicago skies as part of the annual Chicago Air and Water Show.

I haven't had a go in the DM group for a while so let's have some fun.

Step into the light by The New No. 2

Step into the light

Lake Shore Drive bridge house stairs at night. Nothing much more than handheld snapshot but I liked the scene.
