“A cathedral of hospitality where the Fox River meets the sky. Stripped of color, the Baker reveals its true bones—stark, elegant, and anchored in an eternal ‘once upon a time’.”
Urban Pulse After Dark
The city reveals itself not in stillness, but in motion—light bending around curves of modern architecture as time stretches into luminous threads. A river of color surges forward, tracing the path of unseen travelers, their presence reduced to velocity and glow. Reds and blues pulse like arteries, carrying life through the urban core. This image is not about traffic or trains—it’s about rhythm. The cadence of a city that never truly sleeps, where structure anchors chaos and light becomes language. Time doesn’t stop here; it curves, flows, and disappears into the night.
Fox River Trail
A quiet blue-hour moment where architecture and water meet, reflecting the calm rhythm of a historic St Charles on the Fox river as night settles in.
MISTY GILDED REFLECTION AT DELNOR Park St Charles
Soft fog settles over Delnor Pond as autumn color fades into reflection, blurring the boundary between forest and water in a quiet moment of seasonal transition.
The Chicago River becomes a conduit for light, capturing the kinetic energy of the city in a single, sustained moment. The long-exposure technique distills the chaos of urban transit into fluid, neon ribbons that contrast against the rigid, numerical countdown of the Merchandise Mart. This piece explores the tension between the fleeting motion of the water and the monumental permanence of the architecture, inviting the viewer to witness the silent, glowing pulse of the city at rest.
