Fall in Chicago (Leica D-Lux7)
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to cover the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) conference in Chicago. It was an exciting few days filled with new experiences, both at the conference and exploring the city. My hotel was conveniently located next to the iconic AON building, so I couldn't resist taking a few minutes to wander around and capture the unique architecture. There's something mesmerizing about Chicago's skyscrapers, and the AON building never disappoints. The conference itself was held at McCormick Place, a massive venue that offers a perfect view of Lake Michigan. I made sure to get up early one morning to catch the sunrise over the lake, and it did not disappoint. The soft, golden light reflecting on the water was worth the early alarm. In between conference sessions, I found myself exploring more of the city. I finally got a chance to check out the Lowes Hotel, which had been on my list for a while. The sleek design and stunning views added an extra touch of luxury to my weekend. Overall, it was a whirlwind of work and exploration. Chicago never seems to run out of inspiration.
