Gereald D. Tang has logged in thousands of miles of travel to places such as Africa, and China, yet Chicago remains both his home and a favorite photographic subject. In Chicago Impressions, a surprisingly affordable book of excellent color photography, Tang shares 92 of his finest images of the Windy City, from beloved Buckingham Fountain to the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls. He turns his camera on the famed sites, such as the Magnificent Mile and the Lincoln Park Zoo, as well as gems only locals know, such as historic neighborhoods, architectural details on downtown high-rises, and old watering holes such as the 1881 Schaller s Pump restaurant. Indeed, Chicago Impressions is the perfect memento of a trip to one of America s finest cities. And who better to capture its beauty than a Chicagoan!
Hi. My name is Jerry Tang. I am an outdoor photographer and I live in a Chicago suburb. I was raised in a small town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. In 1992, I retired early from Ameritech, where I was vice president in charge of computer operations, to make outdoor photography my new life's work. I have taken numerous nature, wildlife and travel images of the U.S. as well as China, Costa Rica, Kenya, South Africa and Canada. My work has appeared in many books, magazines, catalogs, ads, exhibits, product labels and calendars. I am a charter member of the North American Nature Photography Association.
