Choose Chicago Weekly Instagram Series, May 3-8

Each week, we feature one Instagram photographer who will get to feature their photos and videos on Choose Chicago's Instagram account all week long, part of our new #TakingOverChooseChicago series. This week, we chose Darren Georgia. Enjoy!

Hello! I'm @darrengeorgia and I'm #TakingOverChooseChicago's Instagram for the week! Chicago is also known for each of the neighborhoods that make up the city, otherwise known as "Chicagoland." This photo was taken in Uptown and is one of my favorite historical spots. The Green Mill Cocktail Lounge was frequented by Al Capone during the prohibition era. His favorite booth had a clear view of both the front and back entrances of the establishment, which allowed him to easily escape when the police showed up. #mychicagopix #chicago

Good evening everyone! I'm @darrengeorgia and I'm #TakingOverChooseChicago's Instagram for the week! This is one of my favorite shots, taken from one of the piers off of the lakefront path. The water was pretty calm that night, which allowed for a cool reflection of the skyline off the water! #mychicagopix #chicago

Good Afternoon! I'm @darrengeorgia and I'm #TakingOverChooseChicago's Instagram for the week. Several people commute through the city each day. This is one of my favorite shots taken during rush hour on the streets of Downtown #Chicago! #mychicagopix

Hi Everyone! I'm @darrengeorgia and I'm #TakingOverChooseChicago's Instagram for the week! Taken from Marina City overlooking the Chicago River. One of my favorite things to do in the city is take one of the river tours through the city! #mychicagopix #chicago

Good Evening Everyone! I'm @darrengeorgia and I'm #TakingOverChooseChicago's Instagram for the week! Chicago has some amazing sunsets, but this one by far was my favorite. The clouds mixed with the vibrant colors and provided a cool silhouettes of the city! Taken from the Adler Planetarium. #mychicagopix #chicago

Hello! I'm @darrengeorgia and I'm #TakingOverChooseChicago's Instagram for the week! Chicago definitely has one of the best skylines around, and can be seen from many great angles! Even the geese stop and to take in the views. Or pose for pictures, it's hard to tell from this shot. #mychicagopix #chicago
