I know it's probably pretty cliche anymore to take pictures of the Cloudgate "Bean", but I just don't care. I love taking pictures here whenever I visit Chicago. There's something about a highly reflective surface that attracts so many dazzled viewers that demands to be over photographed. It seems like people get lost as they get near and want to reach out and touch it. They tend to drop their pretenses and look on in wonder. This is a great time to take pictures. Someone recently viewed this on my Flickr stream, and it reminded me of how much I enjoy shooting with my little Sears 35rf rangefinder (a rebadged Ricoh 500g). It has a great lens and does some interesting things with color.
