We were in Chicago over the weekend for some business and had a little bit of time to go out and explore with the minis. I think we will need to return at some point to do a Chicago themed set of photographs.

Edwige and I attempted to get as close as possible to the fireworks this year. My intention was to photograph the miniatures watching the fireworks from the shore of the Mississippi River. That all changed when I realized that the fireworks were exploding to our left (not above the water as I had hoped) and practically overhead. As a result, I had to handhold the camera shooting at 1/20th of a second. It was complicated. Anyway, it worked out well enough.
