Chicago: A city that pleases the senses via art & architecture and much more

I'm visiting Chicago this week and have found myself inspired by the city's artistic and architectural beauty. As far as the eye can see, and in every direction, there are seemingly endless sources of inspiration in the way of cool, hip, and thought-provoking public art for all to enjoy. The architecture is absolutely phenomenal, comprised of styles that are so rich and visually stunning not to mention diverse.
Since I shoot on film, I won't be able to share the images taken with my film camera until I've had a chance to process my negatives however thanks to the availability of my Blackberry camera, I can share some images I've taken from my trip with you below (images have been captured on a black & white setting and have NOT been digitally altered). Enjoy!

Additional images from my Chicago portfolio can be viewed here.

Entre Ombre et Lumiere

I love so many things about Paris, in particular, Le Marais (3eme & 4eme arrondissements), one of my favorite parts of the entire city. As you stroll along the crooked streets you might be able to sense what Old Paris may have been like since many buildings in this area were not modified by Napoleon's great civil planner, Baron Hausmann.
A historic district, part of the charm of this area is due to the diverse mix of cultures, architecture, etc.
I was intrigued by the shadow cast by one building upon another just across the way one sunny spring morning while I was walking down the street, so that's what you see depicted in this image.
