I watched this machine for a while lift and crush this huge concrete column. It had a very “predator/prey” feel to it. It’s sad to see this parking garage go, if only for the 50’s “Parking” font that was very much an icon along the Chicago river.

full – an accidental social commentary
I didn’t realize this until after I returned from my walk, but the word “Full” is hovering right over a reflection of a self-storage building across the street. Maybe it’s a stretch, but I there is a bit of social commentary here. Society is, in many ways, full. We over-buy, over-collect, over-indulge. That we have to rent space to store our stuff away from our homes is a telling sign.
red and yellow
In the North Loop area of Chicago. Yellow protection devices like these have been capturing my eye for some time now. The accent of the sprinkler system heads is nice.
El – flipped
I shot a couple photos here trying to capture the curve of the underside of the tracks and it just wasn’t working for me. I looked at them for a while in Photoshop when I realized exactly why: The curve of the “C” shape was backwards with the original photograph. Rotated 180 deg was exactly what I was hoping to capture.
Sometimes a different perspective is required.
