Here’s one for the nostalgia buffs—a moment in Chicago’s architectural history that has quietly slipped away. Captured in 2003, this image features the iconic Chicago Sun-Times building glowing in its twilight year, just before it was demolished in 2004 to make way for what now stands as Trump Tower.
Growing up, I visited Chicago often and remember this exact view along the Chicago River. In this frame, the building’s signage is lit by the golden-hour light reflecting off the structures on the south side of the river—like a farewell spotlight on an old friend. The flags fluttering along the Michigan Avenue Bridge feel like a final salute.
History in Warm Tones
The image is a tribute to the city’s ever-changing skyline, and to a landmark now gone. There’s a warmth to the colors here—sunlight, stone, and steel—quietly commemorating a chapter that’s closed but not forgotten.
Available in a Limited Edition of 25, with 2 Artist Proofs.
