About this title

Synopsis

Join Cam on his third adventure (Above San Francisco and Above New York) as he explores Chicago from above. His imagination affords him the flight of a lifetime as he takes off from Millenium Park in his airplane and soars high above Wrigley Field, Lake Michigan, the Magnificent Mile, Grant Park and more! The beloved photographs of Robert Cameron and the Windy City take on a child-like wonder when viewed through the eyes of Cam from his airplane.

About the Author

Robert Cameron has been a photographer since 1921 when his father gave him a "Brownie" camera and encouraged him to use it. Cameron is now in his 90's and has published 16 of his "Above" books. He was a photographer for the Des Moines Register in the 1930's. Cameron learned the art of aerial photography during World War II, while shooting pictures of military installations for the War Department.

Cameron is a member of the Royal Photographic Society and a member of the Presidents Council of the International Center of Photography. His work has been exhibited in Paris at La Bibliotheque Historique and the Foundation Mona Bismarck. In New York at the International Center of Photography, the New York City Municipal Arts Foundation. In San Francisco at the Vision Gallery, City Hall and the Pacific Center for Photographic Arts. In Chicago's O'Hare airport. In China at the New Gallery of Art in Shanghai and at the Forbidden City. Cameron is currently working on his highly anticipated new book "Above Mexico City".
