A gallery of photographs showing the tremendous richness of the way that Chicagoans present themselves to the public - the faces, bodies, attitudes, clothes, accessories, tools of everyday life that people lug with them - morph wildly from North to South and East to West.
Our portraits document 30 Chicago corners spanning two years and all seasons. Each neighborhood of Chicago is represented through a careful selection of portraits of its citizens as they passed by our makeshift studio in the course of a single day. To entice Chicagoans to pose for our lens, a professional studio portrait was printed on the spot and given to each participant.
PERFECT SELEKCION…TIBOR
Chicago Nice city.
Love the idea of this; great way to show the wonderfully diverse city of Chicago and its neighborhoods. Little disappointed though, I don’t see Albany Park on here…at least not yet.
nice
Grew up in Bronzeville, moved to Gresham in 1967, during the great migration. Not representing either one is a travesty, especially Bronzville. For shame….
Clever! I hope this continues. I’d love to see who represents the southwest side (Mt.Greenwood & Beverly). Maybe a few of Chicago’s finest Police Officers and Firefighters.
I guess the photographers couldn’t find Logan Square,Bucktown,Avondale,North Center,Albany Park or North Park. Not enough “diversity” for them?
Where are the pictures from Beverly/Morgan Park?
