(( Greetings from Obamastan: Chicago from the Cold to the Cold ))



Don't think I actually went anywhere, I've gotten lazy. This is alltogether like 10 days of shooting this year. Plus I lost a whole bunch of pics, including Johnny Depp on a Chicago street made to look like the 20's (seriously)
















The last stand of Cabrini. Its gone now.









These next two are the only two pics salvaged from the Spring:




















Its SuperGhana!






















































































































One of the densest blocks of the South Side: The South Shore



Lake Calumet and industry


Even from this far up, you can see the urban blight of Gary, Indiana.























Obeezee's house(until Tuesday) is behind me in this pic, which is off limits to photograph.

















Ends the way it started.




Wanna buy that shirt: http://www.zazzle.com/segundent



Good night, be frozen!

Seriously

Your photos are top notch. I guess because I think of Chicago as a winter city, to me it look better this time of year. I really need to visit sometime soon.

It's like Chicago wants to be Denver there.


Seriously, shame it's nowhere near mountains, it's a great city. Awesome photos. A great mix of stuff there.
