Chicago Botanical Gardens

A few weeks ago the UChicago Glass Eyeball photo club made a trip out to the Chicago Botanical Gardens. The gardens were gorgeous and there were lots of opportunities for macro photography. Enjoy!

Logan Arts Center

     The University of Chicago recently finished construction on the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts - finally upgrading the University's arts facilities from the deteriorating Midway Studios. Like all of the University's recent construction projects the building has a sleek modern design that makes liberal use of glass, brushed metal, and concrete. All the modern stuff still feels funny in contrast with the old gothic quads, but I kind of like the effect. The new buildings are also great places for architecture photography. I had a fun time just walking around the exterior of Logan last week exploring the different architectural elements. Here is what I came away with.
