Fire In The Old Sun Times Building

[Mills]

A smokey fire spread through the old Chicago Sun Times building today. This building is being demolished to make way for the newest Donald Trump Tower. some of you may be familiar with the project as Bill Ranscic, winner of the first Apprentice Reality Show, is the Project Manager.

Thankfully, there were no serious injuries.

Great shots. I'd have to say the second is my favorite.

[LAWSON McCULLOCH]

Excellent shots, i also like the second shot the most.

[Belmondo]

Very interesting shots.

I guess the fire was a success. There's that much less to demolish.

[Mills]

Thanks Everyone! I got quite a few good "people" shots like number 2. I will post some more in a little while.

[gtg]

the second is my fav... well captured mills.

[Wrench]

Second shot is nice, but the third does it for me.

[MilesG]

these pictures show so much, they are all really good but the second and third are my favourites

well done

[stoneylonesome]

Great series of shots, I think I like the first one the best, really tells the story in my opinion. Sure was a lot of smoke

[EoSD30fReAk]

the first one is my fav too!

[marie]

wonderful shots


but the first is really great .
I love it especially

[mattym]

i think 2 and 3 are good, the 3rd would have been great if either the angle was slighlty changed to show just the building, ladder and firefighter and not so much of the far building. Very nice all the same though!

[charlesu]

Number 2 and 3 are better to me. In fact, #3 is really an impressive shot. I like it and it would be in my portfolio if I had taken it.

[Mills]

Thank you all very much! :D

[Dimitry]

Great shots, I personally like the third the best

[timmyquest]

Really good stuff as always man.

My dad should be helping put the new building up working on his companies tower cranes.

[Mills]

I should get some shots of your Dad's Hardware. I think they are all over my neighborhood.

Big white or yellow tower cranes. 90% of them in the city if i had to guess, are owned by morrow equipment, they are then rented out to the contruction companies.

My dad is a tech. for them. Along with the cranes, they also rent out the elevators. When either goes down my dad's cell phone rings and he's out there fixing it.

He's been trying to get me interested in getting paid by the companies for taking photos of build sites. I think i may take him up on the offer next summer. I started one job, a special job because of the setup they were using, but it was in madison and it was just too long of a haul for me to make throughout the job. Heck, maybe you and i could meet up downtown some day.

Sounds Good. Noticed elsewhere you are going on a trip. Make it Safe and Enjoyable!

Thanks!

It's gonna be a blast i think. It'll be nice to get out of my town, away from work, parents etc.

I hope to come back with some fantastic winter senic photos and some elk, and deer, and maybe an owl or two. Just wish i had a 400mm lens, but ya cant have everything right :-)
