I had a recent conversation with a friend in which I said I’m sorry that tourists miss out on the Other Chicago, the part I can’t live without:
Driving down Lake Street. Waiting in line FOREVER for a Rainbow Cone. The Garfield Park Fieldhouse presenting as a tiny gold speck on the horizon westbound down Madison. All the neighborhood murals. Anyway, this reminded me of my intent to see a film called The Architect (2006). It is a movie shot here in Chicago that I completely missed. Starring Anthony LaPaglia, Viola Davis, Isabella Rossellini and Hayden Panettiere , LaPaglia’s character is an Architect who is confronted by residents of the Housing Projects he designed. Drama ensues. Click here for the trailer.

I find the shot of Lake Street is very interesting. What I really like is the leading line and repetition of form. Your blog has a lot to offer. Keep it up!

Lake Street is so striking, honestly, it’s hard not to take a good shot (especially when you keep in mind basic principles of perspective). I absolutely love that street! Thanks for checking out my blog!
