Chicago – Photo 52 Project [Week 15]

Jesse, Mari Ann, and I went to Chicago for the weekend. This was the view from the hotel and I think I got this just during magic hour where it is not quite day or night yet. I love that time of day because it just slips through your fingers and turns into night just before you realize.

We ate great food, saw a show at the IO Theater in Wrigleyville, and viewed original works of art at the Art Institute of Chicago. I have to say the Art Institute left a big impression on me. Seeing original Van Gogh paintings was amazing. Seeing the depth of the brush strokes, size, and the true colors a famous painting let me appreciate art more than I was expecting. Seeing something on a page or screen gives you easy access, but there is usually more to be felt with an original work.
