Reflections

Beyond the art museums, Chicago also inspired me simply for the beauty of the city.  Everywhere I looked, there were reflections. 

Light reflected beautifully of of the water at the pier; the buildings reflected the scene around them; sculptures reflected light and distorted images. 

But more than literal reflections, I saw the people of the city reflected all around. 

I was intrigued by a piece of graffiti on various stoplights.  It was a stick figure of a homeless man.  People passed by it on their way to work without a glance at it.  I thought this was an interesting reflection on the city's views of homelessness.  

My flickr photo stream displays a few of the photographs I took while in Chicago examining reflections.  I am working on expanding upon this idea, exploring the many possibilities for the meaning of 'reflection'.
