[Rooted Arborial]

The 5th photo from the bottom - the view up St Clair - has long been one of my favorite compositions.

For me, it is a great modernist collage and, like so many other less known gems in Chicago, I do not think it is on the radar of most people's

"check lists." It has been over a decade since I have stood there in awe.

That shot which focuses on Sears also hits the mark. What a brute! Like a bull in a china shop. It lacks the humane scale I prefer, but I can't help but

feel astonished by its existence. Whenever I hear of Bangladesh, I want people to know how that country has contributed to such a response.

As much as the building is too much, it also gives me hope.


Thank you.
