were the guys in the first shot near Virgin on Michigan Ave.?
nice shots btw.

[neil85]

if i remember correctly ill try to list off where they were

shot 1 was in front of the art museum right between the two lions

shot 2 was just on the south side of the river right on michigan ave

i forget where shot 3 was ... it was on the west side of michigan ave, up by the hancook maybe>

shot 4 was on the left side of michigan ave just north of the river

1 & 3 seem soft.

compositionally speaking, they are boring. there is a lot of distracting elements in each of them.

eh i figured the dristraction part ... as they are taken on the streets of downtown chicago (michigan ave) on a saturday

first time taking candids and its hard to fight with the thousands of people walking & driving haha

eventually ill have the nerve to just get right up there
