I searched for locations that had height and a good view. I shot from parking garages, "L" platforms, a woman’s office after I finished her portrait. I grabbed one from the roof of the Leo Burnett building while waiting for our soon-to-be tightrope walker Nik Wallenda. I knocked on doors and confused receptionists with my odd request to look out the window. In one building I climbed 30 flights of stairs looking for a view with the right angle on the Chicago River.

This is a work in progress for me; there are more landmarks I’m seeking and others I’m looking to improve. Just have to remember to keep that tilt-shift in my back pocket.
