Midwest Mecca
November 23, 2015
I’ve grown to love Detroit and still plan on moving there, but for more than 10 years now, Chicago has held a very special place in my heart. I recently made the three-ish hour drive from Lansing with a list of buildings and a camera. I came back with a new love for the city and a handful of photographs that I’d like to share with you now.
