Lately I have been more focused on capturing buildings as reflected in other buildings. I always feel that reflections force me to look at a building as though it was through somebody else’s eyes. A chance to see things as I would never think to. Along with patterns and rhythms, reflections are a big part of why I enjoy taking photos. It has been a while since I did a post on reflections (last weeks Reflections Along Adams notwithstanding) so I felt the need for a revisit of reflections from around the Loop.
First up; this reflection of the Pittsfield Building on the entrance of Marshall Fields on Wabash at Washington shows that the glass above the door is really quite beautiful. This portion of Fields (It’s not Macy*s yet) it the oldest part of the store. Completed in 1892, the address (102 N Wabash) reflects the updated change to Loop street addresses in 1911, although the official address for Fields is 111 N State.
This shot of 190 S LaSalle by Phillip Johnson is reflected in 200 E Adams as seen from Wells Street.
One thing about having photography as a hobby, others are always more than willing to help point out shots for you. This was the case for this shot of the Chicago Title Building reflected in the Thompson Center. (I can’t remember which one of you pointed this out to me on Saturday, but thank you.)
Another one pointed out to me. The Chicago Public Library as reflected in the Leiter Building on South State Street.
Skyline Century of Progress Apartments (what a stupid name) at 182 W Lake as reflected in a non-descript building at 162 N Franklin.
OK, so this one is not reflected in a building, but this puddle on Madison at Holden Ct captured me with its reflection of the street wall along the south side of Madison St.
