6 February 2010

January was fairly cold, gray, and unphotogenic. However, I did manage to get a few additional photos of Garfield Park, covering a bit of the neighborhood I had not previously visited. As a result, I have made a minor update to my Garfield Park Gallery. I have also been adding photographers notes to quite a few of the galleries, including Garfield Park.

 

20 December 2009

Something new. I've begun to add "Photographer's Notes" to the galleries. Check out Englewood, Lake View, Lincoln Square, New City and Uptown. These notes are based on my visits: my impressions and the things that I found noteworthy.

First aniversary. When started, a year ago, this web site offered images of 10 Chicago communities. It now covers 26 communities. More soon. A special thanks to all who have bought my images over the last year. Sales have been strong despite the economic turndown. That is a great motivator. Thanks also to those of you who just visit this site out of curiosity. Chicago is a great city, well worth exploring.
