I love your views of Chicago here in your post. I also, personally, think it is okay to feel the need to capture an image/moment without being able to verbally express the “why”. There is that saying: a picture is worth a thousand words. I think it is okay for an image to speak for itself or, in other words, for a person to express themselves through an image rather than words. Of course studying or finding the reason(s) why one likes various images over others can be an important part of a photographic journey, I also think it is okay to enjoy an image without having to over-explain it. In any case, great post!

You’re right. And at the time I wasn’t really thinking about it just photographing what spoke to me.

I love the compositions you found here. Great images, as always. And I don't think you need a reason why, you take the images that speak to you and that's what matters. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good point. Something for me to remember the next time so I’m not so caught off guard 😊
