  • Oprah's Chicago Day

    I had the pleasure of visiting the Oprah Chicago Day scene as it was taking place yesterday, 09/08/2009, at about 3:00 pm. I brought my movie camera with me and was able to get some closeup shots of Oprah on top of the Double Decker Bus in the Middle of the Michigan Avenue Bridge. She was wearing a red blouse and she looked utterly incredible. She is an awesome person and Chicago is very lucky to have her as their own!! Oprah, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!
