West Campus Combined Utilities Plant

UChicago has three utility plants that provide steam and chilled water to buildings on campus. Like a lot of the new buildings at UChicago, two of the plants have entirely glass exteriors, and from the outside you can see all sorts of colorful pipes and vats inside the building. I have been looking for an excuse to get inside one of these plants for a while to take photographs. Luckily, The Maroon wrote an article about campus sustainability in Grey City, our quarterly magazine, so I got the change to tour one the West Campus Combined Utility Plant. It's a pretty cool structure inside and out, although I don't have any good exterior shoots to show. Enjoy!

Rocky Aerials

Whoops, it has been a while since I last posted, and I have quite a backlog of photos in my library from winter and spring quarter. Part of the reason for my lack of posts is that was because I took on a lot of event shoots winter quarter and was busy editing those. My Flickr Pro account also expired and I was pretty seriously switching to 500px for image hosting. Thankfully, Flickr has completely redesigned their website and is now offering 1TB of image storage free, so I'll be sticking with them!

These photos are from my flight back to Chicago at the start of winter quarter. My 5am departure was somewhat ameliorated by the fact that I got to watch the sun rise over the Rockies and capture these images in the process. Enjoy!
