Though Chicago is only 2 hours away by plane, it was the first time I went there. And though I have seen this city many times in a movie, I was still stunned by its beauty when I saw it in person. It was a short trip mainly for a rendezvous with a few friends from New York and Memphis, but thanks to Bill, the only friend who lives there, we got to see the best of Chicago, not only the dazzling city centre, but also a couple of suburban towns, Wilmette and Bensenville, to photograph two extraordinary masterpieces of architecture.
