Chicago from the Air Then and Now (Then & Now (Thunder Bay Press)) ReviewOwing Already a copy of "Above Chicago" By R.Cameron, a ground-breaking master in this kind of aerial photographic himself, I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this new release by O'Gorman, which from the title seemed to follow in Cameron's wake with, maybe, a little more attention to the comparison between old and new.
The moment I started browsing through its pages though I immediately realized this was no second best, especially because the "now" images are really recent ones (Cameron's title dates back to 1987). All areas of the city are caught on film, or more likely on pixel,and Chicago has never looked better! The overall quality of the images is very high, both technically and in terms of content, the text captions are concise, accurate and very informative, which is also a plus for this book.
Glad I pushed the button "purchase", I'm already looking forward to the release of the upcoming title in the series "Los Angeles from the air".Chicago from the Air Then and Now (Then & Now (Thunder Bay Press)) Overview

Chicago Then and Now (Compact) (Then & Now Thunder Bay) ReviewI have several of these "then and now" books, and I would say this is the weakest of the bunch. I dearly love Chicago, and some of the old photographs were very interesting, but the book has a few problems. First, the photographic perspectives are rarely in synch, so it is difficult to compare the two pictures directly; either the angle is off to the side, or it's at a different distance. This seems rather to defeat the purpose of a "then and now" theme, which is to facilitate comparison. Secondly, a great many of the buildings and scenes are virtually identical to what they were, so one wonders why they were included. Finally, a map should have been included.
On the positive side, many of Chicago's key spots are targeted, such as the Water Tower, the stockyards and Hull House, and the paragraphs that accompany each picture do convey a lot of interesting information.
If you are interested in Chicago or urban history you will undoubtedly still enjoy this volume, but lower your expectations a bit before the book arrives so you won't be disappointed.Chicago Then and Now (Compact) (Then & Now Thunder Bay) Overview
