As The Wild Images Team, we do things a little different than most. We prefer driving over flying, even if it means many long hours on the road. Once at a location, with the exception of the occasional kayaking, we explore everything by foot, no bikes, taxis, buses, or other forms of transportation. Why do we do things this way? To not miss out on anything of course! As a photography team, we are constantly watching for the perfect scene, as weather, lighting, mood, and composition all come together in harmony. A great example is while we were one day exploring downtown Chicago (on foot of course!), and we came to an area where the fire escapes seem to dominate the scenery. This one in particular really stood out with its bright blue stairs, rails, and doors contrasting with the brown building side. To capture the image though, required an exact positioning to frame it through the opening in the trees. It was hidden by the trees otherwise, and we would have missed this opportunity if we didn’t insist on exploring every block on foot. The Wild Images Team has captured many other photos throughout downtown Chicago, including the blue skyscrapers of The Grant and One Museum Park, which is available for sale in our store. Blog posts from Chicago have documented the view of the Wabash Avenue elevated train, the ornate art deco brown buildings of old town Chicago, the interesting curious foxes of the small green space, when The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina sat at the stone desk, the hidden colorful fire escape framed by trees, the day The Wild Images Team finally found the heart of Chicago, the moment when giant headless zombies took over Grant Park, and at the head of the Navy Pier where sits the bronze sculpture Captain On The Helm. Blog posts from the nearby state of Minnesota include the moment that The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina becomes the Jolly Green Giant, the moment that The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina becomes the Little Green Sprout, and a scene of The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina underneath a life size Jolly Green Giant. Blog posts from the somewhat nearby state of Texas include the art created by the line of sunken monuments at Cadillac Ranch and the textures created by thick layers of paint covering the monuments at Cadillac Ranch. A blog post from nearby state of Missouri includes the Route 66 sign of The Uranus Fudge Factory.
