On my photographic journey across America, we drove from Detroit to the Windy City of Chicago.  I have always had a fondness for this remarkable city, especially its art scene.  I visited Millennium Park and placed my camera right in the water as kids splashed around artist Jaume Plensa’s 50-foot glass block towers of flowing water that project video images of 1,000 different Chicagoans faces.  It is really not that easy to capture an image of this ever-changing art because the faces move and contort.  The most fun is when the face puckers his lips and spews a mouthful of water towards the crowd.  With children running and splashing and slipping and sliding, I was lucky to get this shot:

There is art everywhere you look in the park, even a Frank Gehry pavilion!

Just a few blocks away is a new piece of larger-than-life art. It is a giant eyeball sculpture by artist Tony Tasset. Somehow, in between all the people viewing it, I was able to snap this image. Note how realistic it is.  Of course, I went into Photoshop and worked on the blue color to make it pop.

The Chicago Art experience is always memorable, and there is so much to see, it usually takes several trips.
