    The pics are cool, but too artsy for me. Chicago has a lot more to offer than these pictures justify. Visit Chicago, you won't be disappointed.

    As someone from Chicago, this does not come close to representing this city

    Gotham City Edition

  4. THAT Guy says:

    Wow, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CITY!

    Too bad in the middle of all the crap he took pictures of, there weren't any EXTREMELY DRUNK 'tards that usually fill the streets of the most classless city in the country.

  5. Ano says:

    Overexposed, much?

  6. josh says:

    GREAT city, mediocre photos. They do not capture this amazing city at all. No city compares to Chicago.

    #5

    I can see Arnold and Gerald walking down this alley just before the fifth graders come around the corner and stuff them in trash cans.

  10. Aroneous says:

    #16 & #17 are the best

  11. Kelly says:

    I walk past #5 every single day I'm glad someone else looks up at that and sees something awesome.

  12. Jay says:

    you are all sheltered morons… come to Chicago and you'll realize it's the greatest city in the world. These pictures capture some of the gritty character of the city which is in stark contrast to how beautiful and clean the city really is. Actually please stay sheltered and culture-less where you are. We don't need your closed-mindedness here.

  13. Ajman says:

    Way too much photoshop in use here. Mediocre images all around.

  14. Chris says:

    Eh, not the best photos I have seen… Anyone can walk down lake street (thats the famous green line el), turn a camera 40 degrees and press a button.

    Nasty city….Really is… Not worth spending the money to go…

  16. Spider-Bay says:

    I live in Chicago and see nothing extraordinary about these photos. I mean, yes, they're dreary, but I assume that's what the artist was going for. How about some shots of things other than alleys and the Green Line? How about going to other parts of the city for some images?

    #4 I'm a Steel Detailer and this to me is a beautiful thing.

    Looks like that funny Cleveland "tourism" video.

  19. Dominic says:

    No water tank! What a shame!

  20. Dennis says:

    I love Chicago, but with just a few exceptions these photos could have come from Detroit.. Where's the Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier, any harbor with the city in the background, Field Museum, Old Town, etc.

  21. Jacque says:

    Chicago is an AMAZING city, but these pictures don't really show it…
