Game Room at Chicago Athletic Association Hotel

From billiard tables to a full size bocce court, the Game Room inside the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel is a beautiful, atmospheric bar that perfectly compliments the historic 1890s downtown Chicago building that it resides in. Dark stained woods, vintage sporting flair, and a relaxed vibe make this an ideal spot to pass the time with a drink in hand. 

Chicago Theatre Marquee

Opened in 1921, the Chicago Theatre is a landmark venue located in downtown Chicago, Illinois that originally operated as a movie palace. Now popular as a venue for concerts, stage shows, and comedy acts, the Chicago Theatre still attract crowds and its marquee is regularly featured in pop culture surrounding Chicago.
 

1500 Miles, 3 States, and a Ford Mustang

For the last 10 days I've been fueling up on beer, cheese, and deep dish pizza on another incredible travel shoot, this time in the American Midwest. As always there was some general shooting happening all over the place, however a large part of this latest road trip experience was focused on capturing iconic scenes in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis.

I shared a few behind the scenes snaps on Instagram, but as is generally the case, it's really difficult to try and summarize the variety captured in the over 8K images that were shot for this project. It goes without saying that the upcoming photo sets will be stellar though.

From the top of Willis Tower in Chicago, Illinois to Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin to the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota, the highlights of this travel shoot ranged from absurd to historical to downright iconic - a great combination! The new Mustang wasn't a bad way to get around either. Here's a little sneak peak at some of the new additions that will be popping up in the Middle America travel photography series very soon.
