New City Hall

For my second assignment at the Missourian that didn’t involve sports, I got to photograph the official closure of the old Council Chambers in the Daniel Boone Building and the opening of the new Council Chambers in the new City Hall building right next door.

Chicago – June 12, 2009

So I have decide that I am going to attempt to make a series that is tentatively called Solitary Chicago. I shot the above photo yesterday up in Chicago and last year I took a photo of a single figure standing in front of Buckingham Fountain. It’s going to take quite some time, but I’m going to continue to seek out solitary individuals sitting or standing in various places in the city.

Chicago from the Tower

I went up to Chicago today and picked up a friend from the airport. We went to the Taste of Chicago and then decided to go to the top of the Sears Tower. I hadn’t been up there in about 12 years.

A Day in Chicago

Joel — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 06:14:02 +0000

So I took a trip up to Chicago to go see “The Swell Season” at the Chicago Theater last night. I made a whole day out of the trip and wandered around the city for a bit.

Death Cab for Cutie

Joel — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 05:04:00 +0000

Death Cab for Cutie came to Chicago tonight and played an amazing show at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. Â Thankfully the rain that was suppose to happen came in the morning and not this evening.

Up next is a trip back down to Missouri to visit some friends and for another concert in Chicago. Â For now it’s back to work tomorrow.
