Skyline stickers
A photo from a recent day trip to Seattle—whoever said it’s always gloomy there? Also, to whomever put the QR code sticker on that pole, you stink.

Rantoul, No. 2
There’s something compelling about late-evening sun and the geometry of buildings.

Mobil Station
Not everything along the Route is in good repair, and in some cases, such as this former Mobil station, the rust and abandoned look is displayed with pride.

Chicago Theatre
Always a favorite spot of Chicago photogs, the Chicago Theatre and the Red Line make for an interesting composition. Eaves, Chris (Feb. 20, 2020). Chicago Theatre [Photograph]. Chicago, Ill. Shot on a Canon 6D at 31mm, 1/100 sec., f5 at ISO100.

Crosswalk Stare Down
Not everyone is a fan of street photography, and as a photographer, practicing this part of the art remains uncomfortable. These margins of skill discomfort, though, provide us the space we need for growth and adaptation—perfect reasons to explore discomfort! Eaves, Chris (Feb. 20, 2020). Crosswalk Stare Down [Photograph]. Chicago, Ill. Shot on a Canon…

Adams Street Bridge
The sun poked through at just the right moment to illuminate a few pedestrians crossing the Adams Street Bridge. Eaves, Chris (Feb. 20, 2020). Adams Street Bridge [Photograph]. Chicago, Ill. Shot on a Canon 6D at 35mm, 1/100 sec., f5 at ISO125.

Sunrise Chicago
A full-color version of a similar photo published here on June 7. One advantage of shooting sunrise shots in winter is you don’t have to get up insanely early to snag a nice shot. Eaves, Chris (March 29, 2019). Sunrise Chicago [Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot on Canon 6D at 17mm, 10 sec., f16 at ISO50 with…

Grey Chicago
Definitely not an “original” composition here, as I literally took it at a place called “Photography Point.” Nonetheless, I love this spot when the early-morning sun hits the buildings just-so. Eaves, Chris (March 29, 2019). Grey Chicago [Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot on Canon 6D at 24mm, 10 sec., f16 at ISO50 with a 6-stop ND…

The Passing of Old Man Winter
Back over in Lincoln Park, this wooden-framed structure offers a nice view of the Chicago skyline. At the time, it felt like winter was coming to an end. Little did I know that we’d get two more major snow events, the last one of the season dumping 5-inches of snow on April 27th. Eaves, Chris…

Downtown Valley
I walk past this mini-street on my morning commute. The low clouds on this day completely obscured Sears/Willis Tower, which normally provides a third level of buildings in the frame. Eaves, Chris (Oct. 15, 2018). Downtown Valley [Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot on a Bronica SQ-A at 80mm on Kodak TMX100 pushed 1 stop

Heading South
I totally missed the boat, as they say, on this one. I would have loved to have gotten a shot of them approaching with bridges raised. This scene unfolded back in October as I was returning from lunch in the South Loop. The raised bridges allowed a small flotilla of sailboats to make their way south along the…

Rooftops & Rings
Welcome to my Montreal series! Today is part 8 of 10. We’re back above ground for the rest of the series. I hope you enjoy! As you can see, we’re back above ground, atop our hotel in the heart of downtown Montreal. Eaves, Chris (Aug. 29, 2018). Rooftops & Rings [Photograph]. Montreal, Canada. Shot on…
