Hey! I saw this on the 9pm WGN news last night! I was commenting to my brother about how I wish they included photo credits on the photos on-air, so I could tell if you shot any of them. Are these your shots?
Windy City - Hair Gone Wild
I hope the people above have a sense of humor about possibly seeing themselves dissheveled by the wind. I can relate to their pain. When I first joined the Tribune I had very long hair and was constantly spitting it out of my mouth while throwing it off my face in the winds of Chicago. It ...
Here's a tweet that reminded me of your post today:
http://twitter.com/DanielleLaPorte/status/13803286646
I would just copy and post the tweet in, but there's a word in the tweet that would get it deleted. Oh wait. Am I allowed to link to that? Oh here, I'll just censor out the word:
The secret to social media? Work the f*****r EVERY DAY. - @gapingvoid (yep. and that's the secret to a just about everything.)

Great metaphors on the shadow of Blagojevich. You know what else is funny? Was this taken in the Springfield office? While he was in office, I visited the capital and one of the tour guides said that he's never ever there. In fact, that tour guide NEVER saw him at his Springfield office. And the other tour guide only saw him ONCE there. So having him as a shadow would be really fitting. Only his shadow appeared in Springfield.
A Shadow of the Governor
Sometimes you take a picture in this profession, and it sticks with you. I photographed a press conference as then-Governor Rod Blagojevich turned away from the television cameras and passed his official portrait. At the time, ethics investigations of his tenure were heating up, showing a ...
It's like the Willis Tower is laying down in bed for a nap. G'night Willis Tower. Sweet dreams.
If skyscrapers have dreams, what would they dream about?
The Fog of Romance
. Willis Tower is engulfed in fog on a cool, rainy day that reins in one's desire to go jacket-less in Chicago. Someday, when I have all the time in the world, I'll plant myself at the south-facing window at the Signature Lounge on the 96th, and make a day of photographing fog as it sweep...
When I want to get my camera REALLy high, I'll put it on my tripod and hold the tripod closed up in the air and shoot with the shutter trigger. TOWERING camera action!
Maybe you should wear a really smelly shirt, that way people will get outta your way. hahaha.
Shooting From the Hairline
With a nod to the photo blog "Shooting from the Hip" by my colleague Scott, I'm posting photos shot at or above the hairline from a recent Broadview protest. It isn't easy to shoot pictures when you're not looking through the viewfinder, but I'm finding it more necessary these days at e...
And thus God made public transit.
Is it OK to Pray for a Free Parking Spot?
. Pigeons on their morning ritual at St. Peter's during a recent morning in the Loop. The image and the question above comes to mind after today's story by Manya Brachear in which members of churches in the downtown area speak about the reality of having to pay higher parking fees to worship. ...
I think I read somewhere that the colors were chosen for their bright intensity. Or something. lol. Like I know what I'm talking about.
But SRSLY. This is like some sort of fantasy movie or something. I can't wait until the transformers come to chicago. I hear they are gonna make a trip to Tribune Tower. +can't wait!+
A Forest Painted Blue and Orange

Dude was burning a hole through your camera.
Evan Lysacek - Gold Medalist
. Naperville skater Evan Lysacek appeared here previously in a collection of other portraits of Olympic hopefuls, but I didn’t make any comment about his photo. Now that he rocked the Olympics by being the first U.S. man to win a gold medal in skating since 1988, and has become a bigger celeb...
