River North (Hot Spots)…pick 31 of 52 adventures in Chicago
I’ve been going through photographic withdrawal lately. I haven’t been out shooting for weeks, all my Wednesday’s (along with many other days and nights) have been consumed with the business side of the photography and other random personal obligations. I’m not complaining, this means good things are happening, but I need to get back out […]
Architectural Sightseeing Tour, Deux
Not too long ago I chaperoned my daughter’s final school field trip on an architectural sightseeing tour. And about two weeks ago I took my second tour of the year with my Aussie cousins who were in town for a few days. This is one touristy thing I could do many times throughout the year […]

Buildings, Buildings, Buildings…pick 19 or our 52 adventures!
Since Miss Avery had off of school today we decided to embark on one of our adventures. We drew the buildings card, which basically covers the the tallest buildings in Chicago.
