A lot has changed since I last posted here. My family has moved from Chicago and into the Omaha area. We are currently staying with my mom in Iowa as we figure out exactly where we are going to be living next. Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks. I sadly have not gotten my camera out very often through the course of all that has been going on. Here are some that I have taken, however.
As I wrapped things up in Chicago, I walked over to the bean one morning to take some final shots of one of Chicago’s more iconic places. It was a foggy, cold day – but I think it made for some nice shots.The bean, officially called “Cloud Gate,” makes for some nice pictures of one of the world’s greatest skylines.Here’s me trying to capture how cold and foggy it felt that day.Another one of Chicago’s iconic buildings. Same architects as those who designed the World Trade Center towers that fell on 9/11.Another angle of the BeanI stayed with some friends at the beginning of December as I finished some things up in Chicago.
