Chicago in Black and White




An exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago featuring some photographs from Robert Frank's series The Americans inspired me to load up my 35mm with some HP5 and go booting about town. The results are my version of tourist shots. I rarely go photograph 'just for kicks' these days so this was kind of fun. I love the graffiti from the underpass near Navy Pier. It really speaks about the feeling of optimism around the U.S. since Obama was elected.

I also took a few pictures of my installation at Three Walls which really makes it look like some sort of 1960s conceptual piece. Go black and white, go!
