Chicago River

Chicago River

At least on this stretch of the Chicago River, tour boat and pleasure craft have replaced the industrial traffic, and the wonderful architecture of the city shines above the waters. Eaves, Chris (July 20, 2014). Chicago River [Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot on a Canon 40D […]

Reclaimed

Reclaimed

The defunct Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad line is now the nation’s longest train-to-trail path, running 240 miles from end to end. This section, just outside Herman, Missouri, offers views of the Missouri River in addition to farmland and rural America.

Sunset Pier

Sunset Pier

The magical coast of central-California should be on everyone’s bucket list, or at the very least, on the list of top road trip adventures. There’s a wonderfulness in driving this section of California Route 1, and the sunsets, like everywhere on the U.S. West Coast, […]

Rev. Jesse

Rev. Jesse

2012 was a great year for Chicago Green Fest, and A-list guests stacked the lineup cards. Moments before taking the main stage, the legendary Rev. Jesse Jackson paused behind the curtain in a private moment with another famous guest, Van Jones. Eaves, Chris (May 5, […]

Roaming the Floor

Roaming the Floor

For nearly its entire run, I volunteered at Chicago Green Festivals as a show photographer. In 2014, I played the role of roaming photographer, and the crew at the Nature Conservancy selfie booth hammed it up when I turned the tables at took photos of them instead.

  • Eaves, Chris (Oct. 25, 2014). Roaming the Floor [Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot on a Canon 40D at 75mm, 1/250 sec., f3.2, ISO500
You Are Here

You Are Here

I’m not much of a street photographer, and my family doesn’t really “get” why I like this photo. Maybe it’s the Catholic schoolboys exploring the Quarter and how it reminds me of my scouting days. Or maybe it’s the painting of a cat wearing a […]

Rowhouse

Rowhouse

I visited Toronto as I explored options for post-secondary education. The bleak winter sun made the Christmas decorations seem a little sad. Eaves, Chris (Dec. 15, 2006). Rowhouse[Photograph]. Toronto, Canada. Shot on an Canon Rebel XTi at 21mm, 1/250 sec., f10, ISO100

Rum Runner

Rum Runner

Visiting Puerto Rico (even before Hurricane Maria) was a reminder of how diverse the USA really is, in every sense of the word. We avoided San Juan and visited the southwestern end of the island for a week, and we enjoyed it immensely.

  • Eaves, Chris (April 21, 2009). Rum Runner[Photograph]. Puerto Rico, U.S.A. Shot on an Canon 40D at 26mm, 1/200 sec., f10, ISO160

Engine 116

Engine 116

I decided it would be fun to shoot with a black & white disposable camera. That lasted one camera/roll. There’s something freeing about only worrying about composition. Not that this photo has any; I just like the truck. Eaves, Chris (October 2011). Engine 116 [Photograph]. […]
