Seeing The Bean Different

The Bean in Chicago

The Chicago Bean is one of the most iconic places to take photos in Chicago.  I like that as it gives me a chance to find something that may never have been seen before.  It’s an opportunity to see something different.  These are not easy images to do as we are influenced so often from what we have seen others do.  With the Bean, I walked around and crawled around and looked through the camera and realized there were numerous opportunities to get a unique image.  This one works with the identifiable people in the bottom center and after that, it just goes crazy.  It works because it makes a view stop to see the image and try to figure it out.

The Bean Again

My Reflection In The Bean

Every visit to Chicago is an adventure.  As a routine I get up real early and walk the streets and visit places like the Chicago Bean and bug reflective chrome sculpture before the tourists do.  It’s fun having the whole place to myself and I have done a ton of cool images there.  Here is one from my most recent trip.  Shot on my morning iPhone expedition.

A Bit Of A Different View

A few posts back I published an image of the Bean in Chicago.  I was there on a walk about with my son Scott.  I was looking to see and shoot something different and I asked Scott to pose.  Here is the result.  Kind of different and I toned the image a sepia color to add to the image overall.  I like it and it makes you stop and look.
