I was in Chicago for the weekend. It was one of those times when New York City, where I live, was becoming too overwhelming and I needed out. I was walking around the downtown area at night and came upon an image of Buckingham Fountain (included in my photo posts) in Millennium Park. Having set up my tripod and cameras, I began shooting. After a short while, I was approached by an inquisitive homeless man who began asking questions about what I was doing. A conversation ensued and over the course of over 2 hours, I had been given a tour of the area's nooks and crannies, including Crown Fountain (shown here),.....and Midwestern hospitality.
