I was here this time for a 4-day conference which pretty much lasted all day everyday. I didn't pack my SLR, knowing that I wasn't going to have much time to see the rest of the city. But photography has made me appreciate my surroundings, even if it was a place like a convention center that I would have thought of as "boring" in the past. Here are some images I took with my handy iPhone.
I love the light that comes in through the huge windows (almost floor-to-ceiling).
A trivia that I just picked up: McCormick Place is the largest convention center in the U.S.!
We had a couple of hours to explore Millennium Park. For whatever reason, I always get so excited to see the Bean, ha!
Another gem is the Chicago Cultural Center which houses the world's largest Tiffany glass dome.
This last one was my favorite of the city - taken from a large window by the elevator in my hotel :)

I love how the emptiness of the images makes it look like the city was just yours to explore. Gorgeous, Karleen!
oh, i love all these shots. chicago is where my family's from, so i always love seeing shots of familiar places.
Beautiful images Karleen. I actually have never been to Chicago!
Oh wow. I really love how you have so accurately captured what I felt was the essence of the city while I was there: it's structural vibe. Not just architectural, but seriously… about structure. So cool!
Your iPhone photos are always inspiring.
oh how i love your photography style!
