You would think that after all the craziness in the desert, photographing Lake Michigan in north Chicago should be drama free, right? Wrong!
So,
I got up at 4:30 AM this morning getting ready to go to Montrose Harbor
to photograph the icy lake and winter sunrise. Chicago has had a
pretty mild winter, and only in the past week did we have a few cold
days... I thought I picked a good day today, as it was not completely
too cold to be out on the lake at 6 AM. Boy I was wrong!! You might
think "cold winter" is such a simple concept. But let me tell you, you
have no idea how much "cold" hurts until you stay outdoor by the lake in
the wind for
over an hour under 9F... During the entire time, I only had one
thought -- do NOT drop the camera in the icy lake!
Thankfully, I didn't. So here are the pictures. Enjoy!
