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.

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.
