Wholesale Chicago: Seeing and Photographing the Windy City

Seeing and Photographing the Windy City Chicago: Seeing and Photographing the Windy City provides a visual exploration of one of the most photogenic cities in North America. Photographer Steve Geer shares his pictorial knowledge of Chicago in the twenty-first century, a city he clearly loves. It is a book for anyone interested in looking beyond the standard views of downtown Chicago and includes useful tips for those wanting to take their own unique photographs of the city. The text describes how the city came to be the way it is; the Loop; the river, lake, and parks; places of interest near the Loop; the elevated railway; industry; how to get bird’s-eye views from high vantage points; and the people on the streets of Chicago. The images show the striking Chicago architecture; the river frozen in winter and dyed green for St. Patrick’s Day; the beautiful lakefront and the lake in its various moods; the world-famous parks; and Chicagoans at work and at play. Together, the text and images provide an inspiring snapshot of Chicago. Series: Photographer's America Binding: Paperback Pages: 96 Author: Steve Geer Imprint: America Through Time
