They're all great, but I especially like the 2nd to last shot.

[JV_325i]

I was JUST about to ask you on SSC when you were going to do a full-out thread. Brilliant shots man. I especially enjoyed your up-close-and-personal shots -- the buildings and the people. I will be looking at this for days.

Some shots I tried to get - but couldn't.

ALot of shots I never saw - even though I have been there.

Thanks for the Tribune shots in particular.

[raph93]

[Urban Zombie®]

Holy Crap! This is just one big grab bag full of awesomeness!

[DFW LUV]

Great photos, great city, great tour, great camera...

Cabrini lives!

[i_am_hydrogen]

Thanks for all the kind responses.

raph93 - Canon EF 70-200 f/4 L, Canon EF 17-40 f/4 L, Canon 24-70 f/2.8 L + Canon 40D and 350D (A few were taken with my old Panasonic DMC-FZ50).

[JV_325i]

^^Yeah that view makes the area not look so bad, but I took a cab from Bucktown to Oak St. the other day, and the ride down Division from about 90/94 to State was UGLY (the majority of this trip wasn't captured in this photo I'll admit).

[edncc1701d]

Nice!

[TexasBoi]

You need to do more hydrogen.:tup:

[James2390]

Awesome stuff! This is why Chicago is my favorite city in the world. I love it.

I can't wait for summer time in the Chi!

[jodelli]

Beautiful! Especially loved the down angle on both Pru s and the Stone building together. Also looking down on Orleans north of the river over the roof of the MM. And... I'll stop now before I end up naming them all.

Cabrini lives!

I love where the El snakes around that church in this picture. I've never noticed it despite riding on the Brown line every once in a while. I'll have to look carefully for that church curve next time I'm on the Brown line headed north!

[Westsidelife]

I'm dead.
