Chicago Loop series
These large and small photographs were made with a 5”x7” view camera. They are an outgrowth of my work for the Chicago Epic mural. While photographing for that skyline project, I became increasingly sensitive to the miraculous relationships in juxtaposed sections of old and new buildings. I was entranced by the random layers of textures, tones and planes, all adding up to an explosion of visual excitement only comprehended when I had time to look carefully and was not rushing by car, bus or train on the way to some appointment in or around the Chicago Loop.
