Black & White Chicago Skyline

This is a Black & White Chicago print was taken from North Avenue. The reflections from the street lights on Lake Shore Drive casts a nice glare onto Lake Michigan.

It also features the John Hancock building standing tall over the Drake Hotel.

The photo was taken from the beachfront near Fullerton Ave off Lakeshore Drive during a crisp Fall night.

Chicago Cubs Baseball 2008 -Go Cubs- Wrigley Field Photos



I know this doesn't necessarily relate to black and white photography, I'd like to share a video my son made for me. It is a Wrigley Field video that consists of my photographs that I have taken over the years.

The pictures of Wrigley field range in date from the early 1980's to 2007. In the video you will find an image of the Wrigley field marquee during the Chicago Cubs first night game on 8-8-88. You will also get a view inside the ballpark during an interleague game between the Chicago Cubs & New York Yankess.

These photos and more are all presented with an audio clip of the late Harry Caray singing the famous Cubs 7th inning stretch.

Black & White Wrigley Field Photo


This is a great aerial, black and white photo of Wrigley Field which gives the stadium a vintage, classic look. Opened in 1914, Wrigley Field is the second oldest baseball stadium behind Fenway Park.

This Wrigley Field picture was taken during a really nice day during the summer. I had to rent a small airplane to fly me around the ballpark while I held the window with my right hand and took photos with my right.

It truly is an amazing view above ground. Not only of the ballpark, but of the entire Chicago skyline.

You can find Wrigley Field photos like the one above and many more at my website. Also check out a Chicago Cubs video my son made of all my photographs.
