Bean me up Scotty!

Cloud Gate or

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Kajsa’s post on Sunday rocked. If you missed it click HERE.  I think I’m putting her in charge of all the poll questions from here on out. ;)    This past weekend I spent some time scouting out places for my next Chicago workshop (details still in the works).    One of things I really enjoy about Chicago is the nightlife.  I’ve always said during the day to put me in the country, but at night I enjoy the buzz of the city. This city never seems to sleep and lucky for me it makes for some wonderful photo opportunities.   I spent Saturday evening strolling around the loop checking out the local happenings.  I even made it over to Cloud Gate or affectionately know by locals as The Bean, which I’m embarrassed to say I’ve only photographed a few times.  For those of you that don’t know, the Bean is a reflective sculpture  located in downtown’s Millennium Park. I had a great time. The downtown was flush with people in the holiday spirit and there was  plenty to shoot.   I even broke down and started a Flickr account so that I can start networking with all you Flickr lovers.  If you’re interested in following my stream or becoming a friend of mine on Flickr then just click HERE.   Also, if you’re interested in my  upcoming Chicago workshop this spring, just drop me a note on the blog or email and I’ll put you on the mailing list.  There’s nothing better than the windy city in the spring.
