A look at the Buildings + Towers that shape Chicago and how, as a photographer, the photos shape the towers. Starting from the most recent and going in reverse chronology, Cable seeks "re-vision" for each building, to see anew while abstracting point of view and utilising dramatic black & white techniques.
