Fun Loving Creatures: January 2016

Motions: Spring-Summer 2015
Thaw: March 2016

A month of fun and getting through winter’s darkness. Let’s be real, this disposable camera was not equipped to handle anything but the brightest of exterior lighting–my bad. 01/2016, Fujifilm Quicksnap disposable camera (this one).

Sophia, our white and brown long-haired cat walking from a tiled kitchen floor onto a beige carpeted area in an apartment. In the background, a white refrigerator is visible with photos and magnets, a wooden bench holds a bag of cat litter and cat food. The scene is illuminated by a camera flash, casting sharp shadows and creating a stark contrast.

A woman with short curly brown hair sits at a glass desk in front of a laptop with a black and white sticker on it. She rests her head on her hand while wearing a white T-shirt featuring the word "ALIEN" in bold letters. Behind her, a shelf displays various liquor bottles and glasses, with a window to her left partially covered by dark curtains.

Sophia, our white and brown cat sits under a coffee table on a beige carpet. Behind the cat, a subwoofer with a Polaroid photo of a couple, an N64, and a Super Nintendo system with a Super Mario RPG cartridge are visible on or under a shelf. The room is lit by a flash, giving the objects a bright and defined appearance.

A snowy train track view from an elevated station in Chicago. The tracks curve and stretch into the distance, forming wavy, geometric lines, flanked by urban buildings on both sides. A mix of modern and industrial architecture lines the scene, and snow covers the tracks and surrounding areas, enhancing the crispness of the details.

A dimly lit office interior at Merchandise Mart, with fluorescent lights casting a greenish hue over the space. Cubicles and office equipment are faintly visible, and Mary is barely discernible in the background due to the lack of light.

Another dark office view in Merchandise Mart with similar fluorescent lighting. The scene includes desks, chairs, and faint outlines of office decor. The low-light setting obscures many details, but the geometric layout of the room is apparent.

A dimly lit office meeting room featuring two illuminated geometric pendant lamps. A woman, Gina, is seated near the center, smiling faintly. The space includes dark furniture, and a wall-mounted screen is barely visible in the background.

A cityscape view from a window at Merchandise Mart showcasing downtown Chicago’s architecture. The skyline includes tall skyscrapers, a neoclassical building with columns, and a mix of old and new structures. The reflection of the window frame subtly divides the scene. A similar view of the Chicago skyline from Merchandise Mart in portrait orientation. The composition highlights the height of the buildings and the intricate architectural details, including modern skyscrapers and historical structures. Cars parked along a clean sidewalk in downtown Chicago with towering skyscrapers in the background, including glass-fronted modern buildings and historic structures with ornate architectural details. Pedestrians are visible walking near storefronts. A dimly lit interior of a bar or restaurant featuring shelves stocked with cups, bottles, and a menu board illuminated by soft lighting. The space is largely dark, with some faint green and blue tones from lights.

A very grainy photo of Katie, whose features are difficult to distinguish due to the heavy noise in the image. Bright colored speckles in green, red, and yellow dominate the scene with faint outlines of her silhouette and what appears to be a wall-mounted frame.

A dim lobby interior of a luxurious apartment building, Wyndham, in Edgewater, with intricate design details barely visible. Warm light fixtures glow faintly, illuminating parts of the room, while much of the space remains in shadow.

An abstract, dark image with vertical lines of dimly lit panels on the left, possibly from a train or station platform. Small scattered lights are visible in the distance, creating a sense of depth and mystery. Another dark image taken from a different angle, showing similar vertical light panels on the right side with small, faint lights and shadows in the background. A similar abstract dark shot with vertical light panels aligned along a corridor-like space. Distant, faint red and white lights are scattered in the background. A grainy and abstract photo dominated by colored noise in green, purple, and red hues. Faint specks of light suggest streetlights or distant city lights in a nighttime setting.

A nighttime exterior of The Wyndham Apartments in Edgewater. The building’s name is faintly illuminated on a curved entrance sign, with scattered streetlights and light panels framing the dim scene.

Katie at Susie's Noon Hour Grill in Rogers Park, sitting at a table with a dimly lit interior behind her. The restaurant has industrial-style exposed ducts on the ceiling, a mix of dark and natural light filtering through a window, and a cluttered counter area visible in the background. Katie is partially illuminated and smiling faintly.

Elevated view over a road at night with scattered streetlights glowing in a line that fades into the distance. The scene is mostly dark with small clusters of lights marking the edges of buildings and traffic signals in the far background. Underground at a Chicago Blue Line train station, with glowing white signs overhead indicating directions to "O'Hare" and "Forest Park." The platform is dimly lit, with a few people walking toward the camera. A digital schedule board above displays arrival times. Underground Blue Line station with a staircase leading upward on the right and a train pulled into the platform on the left. The fluorescent lights on the ceiling cast a yellowish glow, reflecting on the tiled walls. A few individuals stand scattered on the platform. Overlooking the Blue Line station from an upper platform, showing the lower level and a long platform illuminated by rows of ceiling lights. A few passengers are visible walking along the edge of the platform, and signs with train information hang in the distance. Exterior night shot after leaving a train station, showing a darkened street with sparse streetlights casting small pools of light. In the distance, faintly illuminated signs and storefronts line the road, with occasional headlights from passing vehicles breaking the darkness.

I’m not really sure what I was doing here. Shots in our Edgewater apartment building, called the Wyndham, focusing on Sophia especially (naturally). A couple shots at work, the Publicis Sapient Razorfish Rosetta office in the Merchandise Mart. And then a few dark shots in and around an underground blue line station… is that the Logan Square stop, or am I getting it wrong? Who knows?
