An Afternoon at The Art Institute of Chicago

Perchance this post may look somewhat similar to a previous post that earned a little Freshly Pressed Fame. Indeed, the circumstances are mighty comparable. Most obviously, I’ve spent several days in Chicago and never once managed to pull my camera out until I got to an art museum. Once there I only took several pictures of art. This time, however, I felt more conspicuous than last time as less people seemed to be snapping photos. Made me feel a little self-conscious. But, my lovely friend, Matt, was doing the same, so that lessened the insecurity a bit.

 

We actually weren't supposed to take pictures in this exhibition, so what you see above is pure contraband.

Can you tell I enjoy Impressionism?

 

I could not get this girl to move. So now she will forever be a part of my memory of the painting.

 

Isn't she amazing?

 

I'm fascinated by the detail here

 

Look familiar? This time it's Matt, not Adam. But I still enjoy the effect.

Nothing caps off an afternoon of art like beer. PBR to be exact.

 

I’m heading to Kansas City today for part deux of my spring break. I can’t say I know too many people who are going to places far colder than their original location for the week, but I’m enjoying the fellowship enough to make up for the frigid temperatures. Jill was a fantastic hostess and I couldn’t be happier with the time I spent here. Next time, though, I’m coming in the summer.

 

See you in Killer City.
