Finding new view points along the Calumet River to photograph from, has become an obsession with me. A couple of months ago I discovered a great place from which to shoot, near the mouth of an old US Steel South Works slip. Being set up to catch the dawn’s light means getting there an hour or so earlier. Which means stumbling in the cold and dark through a rough old brownfield. Luckily on this day, just after I got in place, I was rewarded with a view of a Lafarge cement boat passing through the 92nd Street drawbridge and then out to the lake.
Not too much later, I got to watch an interesting tugboat maneuver of some barges just across the river from my vantage point.
