Urban Quilt #1

Open House Chicago: Day one

The idea of an urban quilt is not my own, it is inspired by the amazing Angie McMonigal a wonderful Fine Art and Architectural photographer here in Chicago.

I am fascinated with how each building runs into the other as though they are joined together, yet in reality there is a street between each building.

Shot taken from the 33rd floor of the W Hotel at 644 Lake Shore Drive.

I guess they do run into each other from certain angles and finding those angles is the trick. Love how you've made each one flow in to the next here.
