Depot Light
The covered platforms of the former depot offer nice examples of asymmetrical architecture, including the overhead light and beams.

District 10
I’ve named this piece after a bit of sci-fi dystopia, as that’s the vibe I get. I’ve had the opportunity to ride a few different train lines into and from the city, and some lines are luckier than others when it comes to the views. […]
B&W Studies, No. 7
Photo no. 7 in my new 14 image series.
Another minimalist vibe with barren limbs stretching for the clouds. Bonus points if you spot the dragonfly.

Atop Starved Rock
After a trip to the wonderful Lodge at Starved Rock State Park, we take our obligatory hike up the infamous hill, look out at the Illinois River, and ponder life in the era of canoes and trappers. Eaves, Chris (Sept. 22, 2018). Atop Starved Rock […]
Union Sky
By lunchtime, the fog had lifted and big, puffy, low-level clouds drifted through downtown. Here’s a look at the columns outside Union Station. Eaves, Chris (Oct. 15, 2018). Union Sky [Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot on a Bronica SQ-A at 80mm on Kodak TMX100 pushed 1 stop
Metro Series, No. 2: Metro Abstractions
Welcome to my Montreal series! Today is part 6 of 10, and we’re in the middle of mini-Metro series amid it all.
Today’s pic is all about textures and shapes. What I realized most when looking back at the photos from the trip is that I really, really liked carrying around the 6D with just the 40mm pancake lens. Hauling around the Bronica SQ-A wasn’t horrible, but the 6D-40mm setup felt like as light as a feather. I realize that’s not really the case, but it’s all about perspective. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this subway abstraction.

Stopp
Stopp! And appreciate this gauge, which is located on a U-Boat displayed inside the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Eaves, Chris (2016-01-19). Stopp [Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot on a Canon 6D at 50mm, 1/60 sec., f2.2, ISO200
Faith
Juneau is a magical town with amazing sights all around it, although sometimes the horizon can be pretty close at hand.

Rafters
Sometimes it pays to look up. I had been working the speakers’ track at Greenfest, and couldn’t resist taking a frame of the rafters and the lights in the beautiful Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier. Eaves, Chris (May 17, 2008). Rafters [Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot […]
Twins
My default featured image sizing crops this image in a bad place, so I’ve used a different method here (looks smaller). Eaves, Chris (May 10, 2008). Twins[Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot on a Canon Digital Rebel XTi at 60mm, 1/1000 sec., f2.8, ISO100.

A view from the middle of the Fox River, taken on a waterproof disposable camera that was then left in the glove box of my car for several years before being processed.
