Parasite or Love?

Two days after the Apple store moved several blocks south on Michigan Avenue to its new riverfront location, I stopped by the old Apple store to see what remained.  I was greeted by an all-black wall where a sleek glass storefront once welcomed me, with what was for me an intriguing statement stenciled in white: "We would never leave you."

Reflected Riverscape

Sometimes your best shot is behind you, which was the case today (and maybe everyday in the case of this location).  Standing at the foot of glass tower, I looked up, discovering the reflective qualities of its skin.  The partitioned mirrors serve to compress the six blocks of riverscape to the east.  Even better, the mirrors create wavy distortion.  A great take on the riverscape.
