Wilson Exit of Lake Shore Drive from Wilson Ave. - Chicago, Illinois May 30, 2026

About 30+ homeless live in the parks and spaces along Lake Shore Drive in the 3 block stretch I walk every day. This particular tent is placed just a few feet from the Drive and its 45+ mph traffic.

This is my first High Resolution image using my tripod ( finer details but kinda heavy) since my heart surgery.

November 29, 2025 - Chicago - Millennium Park, The Bean , visitors taking portraits with others underneath the arch enjoying the fun-house type reflections.

Note. This image is a little soft at full size. A little camera shake,I think. But I found the composition so compelling and the subjects interesting so I am sharing anyway. At this size it is sharp enough.
