Chicago, U.S.A.

Monochromolithic

Chicago was the final major American metropolitan city I had never properly visited. I guess I've completed the set.

It's almost jarringly iconic. Massive bleak structures huddled over wide, traffic-inundated avenues. The rattling, deafening, somewhat terrifying doppler of the L, screaming past overhead. The fact that everyone really is wearing trenchcoats. It got me thinking on how to approach the idea of capturing a city's soul in pictures. How do you define a place with a handful of sights? I'd like to become more adept in that - thankfully I'll have lots of practice time coming up.

I've enjoyed every minute of my brief time here, and look forward to spending more than a rushed day exploring these streets. Mostly, it's been nice to have more than two train cars in which to walk. And walk I have. And walk I shall.
