The Marvelous Photographic Book of Chicago Wonders

'The Marvelous Photographic Book of Chicago Wonders' showcases my favorite places and experiences I had during my time in Chicago. I never made a list of sights I wanted to see but would take the ‘L’ train and get off at new locations to explore. Little by little, I discovered an incredibly detailed city created with such vivid passion. The city became everything to me. I escaped all of my problems by exploring and taking photographs, which led me to see more than just buildings but different realms of life from the past, present and future.



More than two-thousand photographs from historic neighborhoods, landmarks, buildings, bridges, museums, hotels, fountains, sculptures, beaches, gardens and parks are featured. Read about Daniel Hudson Burnham, Bertha and Potter Palmer, Louis Sullivan, Marshall Field, Lorado Taft, George Pullman and other Chicago Pioneers who made the city so wonderful in a very special Forward about my time in Chicago.



Lincoln Park Zoo, The Art Institute, Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, Union Station, Marshall Field and Company Building, Merchandise Mart, Palmer House, Hotel Stevens, Grant Park, Grosse Point, Elks National Memorial, Pullman National Monument, Garfield Park Conservatory and Graceland Cemetery are just a selection of the great places you will discover.
