Whoa, I know this is tangential, but how long have you had the "Soul of Chicago" section on your website? It's rather breaktaking,imho.

[inqueery]

Well since 2006 :-D. Although frankly most of the shots suck IMHO - but the whole trip was worth it for this opportunity with the "stupid wide" lens in the operator area coming into Chicago & State:

Heh, well, for someone like myself, who's grown up spending many hours, some happy, some sad, I'm just impressed that you can make the CTA look "new" to me.

Shoshin, beginner's eyes. That's what in those photos for me. Heh.

your photography always makes me feel so... deficient. LOL.

GREAT work!! i love urban shots. (buildings/public transport/etc.)

just HOW did you get that shot on the bridge....?

[inqueery]

...after almost 400 shots, a few were bound to turn out - and so loved the DC and NYC subway stations.

...as for the bridge, well it only looks tricky. When you get to the main brick supports on the bridge the center walkway balloons for a short bit ... so it was taken there. :-D No I didn't crawl out on one of those steel beams... :-D Oh and the "stupid wide" lens helps too since the shot appears "further out" than it was taken.

"center walkway"? is it for pedestrians? (i have no idea) and if it is, how weird that it's elevated above the traffic like that. :D

and i LOVE my wide angle lens. it made my vancouver photos possible. it's not "stupid wide" though. ;)

[inqueery]

Ya its a bikeway/walkway that is in the center of the bridge laterally and sits on the steel trusses above the road deck. Its really quite an amazing bridge for that design aspect alone.

Apparently the innards of the anchorage is quite stunning architecturally (cathedral like ceilings, etc) but closed in 2001 apparently permanently.

Very nice photos!

[inqueery]

Aww thanks! ;-D

Is it bad that I saw the photo of the Brooklyn Bridge and thought "holy crap, he didn't get arrested by an overzealous cop for that?!"

Looks like a good time. :-)

[inqueery]

Laughs - no I didn't have to do anything even marginally illegal for that shot - although I suppose looking back at it - it could suggest such a thing. Sounds kinda fun too :-D [minus the whole being arrested part]

[clarkk]

Heh... We didn't really even get harassed for the few subway photos we took. :)

I love the stations - they are sooooo amazingly cool in their simplicity.
