Brings out the Lake Michigan shoreline to life, with its elegant visual sequence, the sand-covered city beaches, the rock-studded shoreline, the running paths, and the buildings built along this unique intersection. Author-Photographer´s rich images reveal the complex forces that shape the lakefront as one of Chicago´s most public communal spaces. An iron-gray slate on a cold and blustery day, a respite from the summer heat, the engine of the city´s notorious blizzards: Lake Michigan is an integral part of the landscape of Chicago. Bob Thall has been photographing the skyline and streets of Chicago for over thirty years, and here in ´At City´s Edge´ he chronicles the twenty-five-mile shoreline where the asphalt meets the inland sea. Thall´s stark yet rich images take viewers from the Evanston border on the North Shore down to 100th Street on the South Side, documenting the natural scenery, architectural structures, and people that populate the coastline.
