Artist's Description
A black and white fine art, long (6 minute) exposure photo of the Cloud Gate sculpture in Chicago’s Millennium Park. It is more commonly known as “The Bean”. When photographing an iconic structure, it is very difficult to come up with an original composition. For example, just about any possible composition for the Eiffel Tower has already been done. But we make our photos anyway. Even though we weren’t the first it is a way of saying, “I was there and this is my image”. Somethings are so beautiful and iconic they just beg to be photographed over and over. The Cloud Gate (aka “The Bean”) sculpture in Chicago’s Millennium Park is one such place. It may not have the history and stature of the Eiffel Tower but it calls to us nonetheless. So, this is my take on “The Bean”.

About Mike Schaffner
Photography has been a passion of mine for over 45 years and I look forward to making photos for the next 45. I hope that you like my photos; I am okay with it if you dislike them; I just hope I never bore you. I haven't deliberately developed a certain style as I like most styles and genres of photography. I will admit a preference for black and white images as I find them more expressive but not to the exclusion of color images. I creatively edit my images to convey to the viewer the spirit of what I saw and felt about the scene rather than trying to document the scene journalistically. All of the images were made and processed by me. All are copyrighted, all rights reserved.

Man, I still need to get to Chicago. This may be the first view of the "bean" I've seen from this perspective. The juxtaposition of the smooth bean and the textured skyline is especially nice.
