Richard Nickel!
As a long time Chicagoan / photography fan / architecture fan, Richard Nickel is one of my heroes. I'm very glad to see some of his work on your site. This is the first one I've noticed - are there more?
Thanks for the great site - I spend quite a bit of time going back in time here.
