Chicago Art

Chicago's lively people scene is no where better seen and felt then at the parks and centers of art. The Art Institute of Chicago seems to attract both locals as well as visitors for many parts of the country and world.  Click here for a link to the center.

This large public space seemed to be a favorite place.

Or just move to the next exhibet.

The Millennium Park on Michigan Ave.


The Cloud Gate Sculpture is called the 'Bean' by locals

All photos taken with a Canon G10 and processed in Lightroom 2.4.

Chicago in the AM

Early morning in Chicago on a beautiful September day. Spending time in this great city and the weather is picture prefect is enough to make one want to move here.

My early morning walk along the river provided more then my share of photo opts. Here a a few of them.

Jazz Fest Workers

The Detroit Jazz Festival is the place to hear the best in both old and new jazz music. Most of the attendees enjoy the music, but also feast on the food, the people and the fair like atmosphere. The workers in the food and other booths are pleasant and friendly. Here are a few shots taken on Saturday night.

Detroit Jazz Festival 2009

For 30 years the Detroit Jazz Fest has featured both the best of national and local talent. If you have attended many times, you will seen some of the same smiling (or not smiling, jazz is serious) faces year after year. In addition to the music, people watching will please everyone.

Here are some of the captured shots from September 4, 2009.

The stage in front of the Compuware building.


The Compuware buildings glass front provides a mirror of the foot of Woodward Ave.


These two strange characters entertained the crowd between musical sets.


Some of the smiling faces.


A ride in style in way better then walking.


Some of the old is being renovated and rented.
Some of the old remains as a landmark.

Looking forward to more music and faces the rest of the weekend.

Hope you enjoyed these shots.
