I did not take many photographs yesterday but still
I wanted to share here some "postcards" from one of my favorite cities.

This are my favorite ones from yesterday. Did a lot of walking and saw a lot of exhibits. Spent 4 hours at the "Institute" (so much to see and talk about that will make this post too long), toured 3 exhibits at the Chicago Cultural Center (1 on creative typography, one on the subject of the representation of death through art and one on printmaking from Poland), another printmaking exhibit by local Chicago artists on Expo 72 and a short photo-exhibit by someone I did not know, Teenie Harries, at the Harold Washington Public Library. Nice enjoyed day despite the random rain.
