DOWNTOWN — A photographer is hoping his fellow Chicagoans can help him find a family he snapped a picture of Tuesday at "the Bean" but hasn't heard from since.
Grant Sternberg, who lives in the Loop, took the photo after a small concert at Pritzker Pavilion. He was out with his new camera when he came across a group of nearly 40 people posing at Millennium Park's "Bean," the sculpture formally known as "Cloud Gate."
Sternberg took a photo for the family — and a few girls who photobombed the picture — and then gave one of the men his email address so they could contact him for the picture.
The girls who photobombed the picture got a copy of the photo from Sternberg, but he hasn't heard anything from the family.
"I think it'd be a good memory," Sternberg said. "I figured, 'Hey, it might make their day to have a ... nice family photo.' So I want to make sure they get ahold of it."
Sternberg doesn't know the family's name or where they live, but he's hoping someone will recognize them and help him reconnect with them.
Sternberg has been taking photos for about eight months, but his work typically focuses on landscapes and cityscapes. It was cool to have a shot of the city with people in it, he said.
If you recognize the family, Sternberg can be contacted through his website.
