Carmen, is that you?I made it. And along the way I saw these people taking a break from the fun. Outfits like this make me think of Carmen Miranda. Or at least that one number she did in that one movie that made her an icon in a fruity hat.
This is the fourth in a brief series of photos that I took while visiting Chicago in June 1996. They're 35mm color slides that I've scanned and digitized.
I like watching the movable bridges around Chicago, in particular the Michigan Avenue one - the first one I saw "in action" :-)
ReplyDeleteHow embarrassing and thank God I'm not on Skype with you. I'm wearing the exact same outfit right now. But not the hat! I mean, I don't want to look stupid or anything.
ReplyDeleteYour Friend, m.
As a native Chicagoan, I enjoyed your pictures. It's a great big city but I challenge anyone to walk down Michigan Avenue in the dead of winter without turning blue! The wind and the cold are worse than anything I've ever experienced...anywhere. But you can get a good strong drink at most any bar in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteI totally thought it was a self portrait.......
