Today was supposed to be cloudy and rainy but it ended up being such a nice day that Pixel and I decided to walk around Uptown and snap some pictures! It was really a nice surprise and it felt so good to pick up the camera for fun and not for work. Sometimes you have to remind yourself why you began doing what you do and for me that was because photography allows me to slow down and see moments that I may not necessarily see in the usual hustle and bustle of life. It was good to be reminded of that today. Enjoy some of the sites and springtime in Chicago below:
