A Ted's Eye View of The Windy City image
Friends.
 
Time has been flying by and as I enjoy this stolen moment in a Cafe on the Charing Cross road I realize that actually a great deal more time has flown by than I at first thought. In fact, so much time has flown by that I now have a mountain of pictures waiting to share themselves with you and over the next few weeks I will be utilizing every spare moment to post more.
 
We have just arrived home in London from Chicago where we played Lollapolloza festival which was great fun. The Windy city is among my favorite places in the world and during our short stay there I was sure to let my camera take me for a walk. It was about 5pm and the light lent itself to high contrast shadow laden pictures. I love how the scale of the city is exaggerated by this dramatic light...

  • You’ve done a great job catching the atmosphere – I can almost hear the sounds and smell the smoky city air. I really like nr 6, has a kind of apocalyptical feeling in it. Thanks for sharing, Ted, urban photography is one of my favourites also.

  • These are so beautiful. I live in Chicago and can't even fathom how you could make the city look so huge and gorgeous. I find it rather dull sometimes.

  • I love the black and white photos! There is such great contrast between the dark buildings and streets and the blinding sun. Photography is my greatest passion and I think it's great that you're documenting your adventures with film (or digital)! When you come to Portland I hope you take some more!
