Description
2.5 Randolph Street.
2.5? Are you kidding me? Half a floor?
This was taken at the same place Marilyn and I took each other's pictures through that glass block wall. I was in a lobby area, and the elevator was behind me.
It didn't FEEL like we were on only half a floor!
If you look at the reflection, you can see me all the way off to the left (well, HALF of me), and Marilyn's walking behind me (notice the bright lime green flip flop just below where it says "street"), and of course Mark in his "waiting for photography to happen" pose. I swear ... that man has the patience of a saint.
This was getting on into the afternoon, and we were headed for Millenium Park.

Cool shot :)
Fantastic shot! love all the attendant details! Most excellent!
Another great shot---and yeah, I'll bet I have a gazillion of the "mark waiting for foto op to pass" shots as well. But HE has a camera now, so has joined the ranks of ninja photogs, how fun will that be!!
Maybe it's the entrance to an American version of Hogwarts! Wonderful shot! A little bit of whimsy, a little bit of mechanisms and some great reflections!
very fine shot, showing so much 'hidden' details :-)
love the gears and reflections in this shot!
You all sure found some unique places...2.5, etc. What's with all the machinery in the elevator shaft? Best part, of course, is the multi-reflections of the entire crew. These doors beg a hindred questions:) Nicely seen and expertly captured.
Fabulous!! Fancy getting all that detail in a reflection, super doors shot...
To the ordinary eye, just an ordinary scene. You make them all look so interesting. I read the title but this really makes me think of those old computers with the reel-to-reel tape. And the reflections remind me of those Japanese horror films where you turn around and there's nothing there.
HAHA Patience of a saint... I believe you Tara LOL ! This is such a funny shot :-)))
Fun shot!
Fun shot... to see the inner working of an elevator freaks me out a little!! Great one friend! :)
nice shot...
Big floors when they break them in half! Nice change of pace. Too many windows to clean though.
I feel a bit threatened (again!) by these strange workings, but it is a most interesting and complex pic. Love the flip-flop!
Man in the machine :) Awesome shot!
excellent shot!
Well done. :-)
cool image
This is excellent and I love the fact that all three of you are in it! I noticed Marilyn's flip flop immediately. I love those reflections and Mark in his patient saint pose! Wonderful sense of color. I wonder how you managed to get onto half a floor? It might be an urban superstition thing where a floor is repeated like 2 and 2.5 so that higher up one can safely miss the 13th floor. There are quite a few buildings in Chicago that simply skip floor # 13. At any rate, I love this shot. Those gears are fantastic!
Is it two-and-a-half floors, or half a floor.. ;o) That really gets me. Lots of points of interest in the reflection. Beautiful photo that says a lot. Now that is the point of photography, saying more than what others see. Excellent.
Now there is a different meaning for f:2.5... Must have been a photographer who designed this place! Look, I can see the shutter too...! You used a 2.8 to get the 2.5... Tee hee, Clive
Excellent shot!
Hmm... Level 2.5 could of been an early version of the Uk band 'Level 42'! The band chose tha name as it is highest level of the worlds tallest carpark! Fun photo, the fact that you can see the lift mechanism was an instant draw for the engineer within me! P
I bet this address is a talking point. Well spotted.
Fantastic shot! :)
i so much love the door - series .. excellent shot !!!
Cool shot!
lol..lovely reflections!!
This is really cool! I like the reflections, especially Marilyn's shoe. Chip and I know this loony Russian woman who wears green shoes (and dreads.) You and Mark are in there too! How cool is that? I like the framing of this, especially with that gear showing through the glass. Really nice work.
