Chicago, Illinois: A Photographic PortraitDon Brown Photographer"We struck the home trail now, and in a few hours were in that astonishing Chicago-a city where they are always rubbing a lamp, and fetching up a genii and contriving and acheiving new impossibilities. It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up with Chicago-she outgrows her prophecies faster than she can make them. She is always a novelty; for she is never the Chicago you saw when you passed through the last time." Mark Twain Life on the Mississippi (1883) Chicago, Illinois: A Photographic Portrait depicts this great Midwestern city through vivid photographs of her nineteenth century architecture that blend into a landscape of modern sculpture and innovative skyscrapers. A city of parks, lakes and art, Chicago is indeed astonishing. With a population second only to New York City, it may be known as the "Second City", but you'll soon realize that there is nothing second rate about Chicago. Photographer: Don Brown, a Los Angeles native, has lived in Chicago since 1996. His work focuses on the city’s contrast between old and new, capturing the life within.
