Date: 2017-09-01 02:58 pm (UTC)I once snapped a photo of the Hancock Tower, one of the tallest and most impressive buildings in Chicago, from a perspective standing on the street a block away. It looked magnificent, a shining black obelisk rising up literally a hundred floors into the sky...and I sent it to a friend, commenting, "What you can't see is the homeless man with a sign asking for help sitting just below frame. This seems an appropriate summary of Chicago." The camera really is a far more limited instrument than we like to think.
I love your idea of going flying over that view. Perhaps I shall join you sometime.
