For the love of negative space

Here are two more shots from last month's trip to Chicago.

Above: Ektar 100 | Below: Fuji Pro 400H.

Empty beaches are always so photogenic. I am dying to plan another trip somewhere, but it's funny (and terrible) how I now think of traveling primarily as extended photo walks. Everything else (the food, culture, etc. of the place) comes second. I definitely want to escape to warmth come February when the winter starts to really drag on us over here. Currently eyeing Costa Rica...

  3. Costa Rica is awesome! Especially if you don't care about good food... Because there isn't any. Hah. I kid, but the culture down there has pretty much wiped out in favor of tourism. Oh well. It's still a beautiful country with just about any geographic feature you'd ever hope to find. If you do go, you have to visit La Fortuna and Monteverde - the former is a city at the base of an active volcano (amazing hot springs! HOT SPRRRIIINNGS!) and the latter is as the name would suggest, in the mountains and extremely green. Also hella photogenic. Unfortunately I went there when I was 19 and didn't know much about photography. Would love to return someday. Or I'll just settle for living vicariously through you. :)

  8. There's something about negative space in the outdoors. Your photos capture the mood exactly!
