We came, we conquered and we photographed Chicago Earth Hour 2010 – March 27, 2010
There were probably a hundred photographers who descended to the lakefront at the Adler Planetarium today to photograph Chicago’s celebration of Earth Hour. From 8:30 – 9:30 pm today, the lights of iconic Chicago buildings were dimmed to celebrate the World Wildlife Fund’s call for action on climate change.
This is the third year that Chicago is one of the flagship cities of Earth Hour. Icons such as the Chicago Theatre, Navy Pier, Willis Tower, Merchandise Mart, the Wrigley Building and Trump International Hotel and Towers were among the more than 200 downtown buildings which dimmed their exterior lights.

Chicago Flickr Meet Up Club on the lakefront, June 13, 2007.
Here’s the shot that Jill took while I was shooting the group (from Jill’s photostream):
A group of us planned to photograph Northerly Island but the park was closed due to a concert, so we decided to hang-out near the Adler Planetarium area to observe the sun set. Before we went there, we met at Grace O’Malley’s on S. Michigan first.
Since it was a Wednesday, there was a fireworks display at Navy Pier … so we stayed for that too.
View Jill’s photos of the meet-up here.

Not much, just under an hour evening shoot at Navy Pier. It was a beautiful moonlit night. I thought shooting the Wave Swinger would be perfect.
And it was.
John Hancock Tower and Observation Deck – April 23, 2006
After the Red Hat Ladies shoot, I then took a brisk walk to the John Hancock Center and went up to the Observatory. The weather was fabulous up there.
I shot a lot of the people inside the observatory as well as the people on Oak St. Beach. There was even a wedding pictorial down there!
Awash in Pink – October 1, 2005
Chicago was awash in pink light today because it’s … the start of the Breast Cancer Awareness month. Many participating buildings lit with pink making Chicago skies glow in pink. Normally, the sky is … muddy red or brown.
