These are all awesome! ^_^

Except... why is that gold statue's head up the other statue's arsenal :unsure:

Ahahahaha, I'm going to PM you and tell you what's funny about that first T-shirt picture.
 
Wow...Awesome pictures!

I really liked the water pillar, and the shiny bean thing.

I also liked those gardens that you said were near the Modern Wing. Not sure why, they just look really cool. It doesn't seem like a typical garden, with all kinds of roses and tulips or whatever, but that's what makes it look awesome.
 
Your city looks incredibly clean, there's clearly some great architecture too. Seems like an inspiring city for a young student.
 
Of fvck. Those photos are horrible /sarcasm. I could use them for my Photography event but they aren't mine...

Haha, at least, the downtown area is pretty clean. Everywhere else can get a bit too cluttered for my taste sometimes... :ha:

[quote name='scrtmstr' post='3103100' date='Sep 9 2010, 10:39 AM']Now I really want to go to the US :([/quote]
And this was just one small park in one city! There's much better places to go around the rest of the country too!

I actually don't mind if you use them or not. (The hard part would be convincing them that you were in Chicago :ha: )

These images are actually scaled down, if you want the original raw sizes, let me know. ;)
 
[quote name='iFish' post='3104195' date='Sep 9 2010, 09:21 PM']Looks nice!!
But I have seen another blog like this before :rolleyes:[/quote]
Uhh... wat?
 
iFish made a photoblog a while ago.

Anyway, I'm happy to see photos of the event - wish I would have been there :-/
 
Gotta love Chicago.
Best city in teh world.
FU
NY
(Figure it out)
But yeah, grew up in Chicago.
Sucks that I couldn't go to the Layton event as I'm pretty far away from Chicago now.
But yeah.
