June and July 4th Weekend, Chicago

The First weekend in July had one of the most beautiful and dramatic sunsets I have ever seen in Chicago

On the night of the 4th of July I went out to the lakefront to watch the fireworks and found a nice big puddle for this reflection shot!

Whenever I want to improve my mood I walk to this fountain and take street shots, and it never fails to cheer me up 🙂

I was lucky to go on a Seadog Cruise with the Choose Chicago Crew for the opening of the new Ferris Wheel, there was a beautiful sunset and this was right before the storm started!

 

I am really enjoying this youtube channel this month- The Art of Photography by Ted Forbes, he gives some interesting talks about different photographers and topics on photography, good one to check out to learn more about the history and theory of photography.
