Chicago Impressions
photography by Gerald D. Tang
published by Farcountry Press
- This veteran photographer has logged in thousands of miles of travel to places such as Africa and China, yet Chicago remains both his home and a favorite photographic subject. In Chicago Impressions, Tang shares 92 of his finest images of the Windy City, from beloved Buckingham Fountain to the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls. He turns his camera on the famed sites, such as the Magnificent Mile and the Lincoln Park Zoo, as well as gems only locals know, such as historic neighborhoods, architectural details on downtown high-rises, and old watering holes such as the 1881 Schaller's Pump restaurant.
