New Images from The Westside
It's interesting how teaching filters into your own work. The two images below were shot in September. The week that I shot these, I had been lecturing about the impact of time of day and weather on color in a photograph. And it seemed that since that was on my mind, I kept looking for a change in color due to time of day. Then on a stormy Sunday, the sun began to peek through pockets in the clouds and the light was amazing. I took some of my own advice and went out to photograph in this stormy, moody atmosphere. The sad little storefront churches on Ogden never looked so full of life.
This next image was taken over the summer. This romanticized image of an unconscious and curvy young woman thrown over the man's shoulder and the fact that they seem to be some kind of mirage emerging over the landscape like an oasis for the weary traveler is quite strange to my gringa, feminist sensibility.

Can't believe I haven't posted anything in over a month... obviously the semester is in full swing. So this weekend marks the beginning of Art Loop Open. Organized by Chicago Artist Coalition, the month-long exhibition seeks to exhibit work by Chicago artists and to draw art enthusiasts downtown to Chicago's loop area.
Art Loop Open is on display at 10 venues: Block 37, Hard Rock Hotel Chicago, Hotel Burnham, Macy's, Merchandise Mart, Chicago French Market / MetraMarket, Palmer House, Hotel Allegro, the Wit Hotel, and W Chicago-City Center.
Three prizes will be awarded to the artists with the most votes by viewers. You must go to the venue and send a text message in order to vote for your favorite work of art.
