A gallery of photographs showing the tremendous richness in 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 North to South and from East to West.
Our portraits document 30 Chicago neighborhood corners spanning two years and four seasons. Each neighborhood of Chicago is represented through a careful selection of portraits of its citizens, and captured over a single day. To encourage participation a professional studio portrait was printed free of charge and on the spot for each subject.
