C Chicago

^{Photo Shoot One: In honor of Lorado Taft: We knew this would be the first and last photo blog that would happen with both C's and c's all together. It was important that our photographs were unique to Chicago. Taft (1860-1936) was an American sculptor who mainly did large scale figurative.}

^{What better than to start our Photo blog Journey in the cemetery? Graceland Cemetery in Chicago, home of two of Taft's sculptures.}

^{On Friday June 18th C, the c's and I made our way into the cemetery. Beautiful glinting sun poured over the graves. There it was, off in the distance, standing tall and dark. The grave "Eternal Silence", our first honorary subject. C and I excitedly began to set up our first shot. c's mimicking the stance of "Eternal Silence". It was beautiful. As we each stood on our respective sides about take take photo's C said to me "Look... it's our reflections in the tomb stone behind". It was kind of amazing. I took one photo, I took a second and on the verge of taking a third I was interrupted by a beastly security guard in a pick up truck yelling "Get out of here, put those in your bags and get out of here!!" You could tell he was treating us the way the bully's in fifth grade treated him. Minutes, it was no more than four minutes that we were in the cemetery and out.}

^{The bad news is we left having only photographed one of our subjects. We already failed our own mission. The other sculpture was of a crusader at the grave of Chicago Daily News publisher Victor Lawson. Good news is the one we photographed was sweet.}
