I enjoyed looking around the different websites. Chicago is a beautiful city. This class gives us an opportunity to explore new exciting places we never knew existed. I can not speak for everyone in the class, personally I feel as though I have become comfortable in this little area of the city (Little Italy) and I find it difficult to branch out and discover new places to hang out, shop and roam around.
The overview shots on the revealing Chicago website were amazing. Many of the overhead views were familiar to me; however I have never seen them from that point of view before. This particular website also helps me visualize where specific streets are located. I am still trying to learn my way around the city. As I looked over these maps I was able to gain a better perspective as to where certain streets are located as well as the direction to which they run.
The picturing Chicago website was interesting as well because I liked viewing pictures of all the different neighborhoods. I felt like a kid because as soon as I saw something familiar I got excited. I wish the pictures offered color or maybe that would defeat the purpose of their website? Who knows? This website was very neat. I also wish I knew how to post pictures because there is one specific picture I loved and I can not figure out how to upload the damn thing!
Finally, the UIC web page was rather impressive. I didn't know they had such a resource and it was pretty cool to check out. My favorite pictures were the water pictures. I love looking at the river and lake shots the best. It makes me feel like I am somewhere warm again!
I do not photograph often, but if I were to I would photograph all the major monuments like a little tourist. I would be sure to swing by Harpo, Wrigley, US cellular, Sears Tower, Water Tower, Millenieum Park, the beaches etc.
