Self portrait

Cloud Gate
Millennium Park, Chicago
Photograph by Tom Atwood

This is an unassuming self portrait. In fact, you may have a hard time even finding me in this photograph of Cloud Gate, a sculpture by British artist Anish Kapoor in Chicago's Millennium Park. But I'm there - right in the middle. The guy with the camera. The sculpture, inspired by liquid mercury, weighs 110 tons, and is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates. Kapoor says she wanted to make something "that would engage the Chicago skyline." Shutter: 1/80; Aperture: f/8; ISO: 100; Focal length: 18 mm.
