This image was taken in downtown Chicago at the Daley Plaza. The sculpture by Pablo Picasso is one of the city’s best know landmarks. My two and a couple of others sure had a fun time sliding on the sculpture’s angled base. The graphic shadows made by the sculpture and beautiful texture of the cor-ten steel make for a great stage.

I stand still or move slowly, feeling things like the impulse of shapes, the direction of lines, the quality of surfaces. I frame with my eye (sometimes with my hands) as the ground glass would frame. Nothing that one could reasonably call thinking is taking place at this stage.
