About The Artwork
This viaduct is on Chicago's west side. The railroad tracks running on top are part of the city's history of moving freight. We are looking south. If you turn right, west, you drive into Little Village, a bustling, large Mexican community. Mexican Independence Day Parades there draw up to 200,000 people. Turn left, east, at this intersection and find mostly industrial buildings with 40 foot trailer trucks pulling in and out of large parking lots. You'll also see a sprinkling of funky restaurants and some artist lofts. As for the approach I took in creating this work, I was attracted by the look and age of this scene and wanted to express it in more than just a straight photographic way. Thus, the creative process begins. It included converting color to BW, exaggerating the noise (feeling of graininess), emulate a sketch to some extent, and play with Photoshop levels to bring out details in shadow areas. Blowing up this image makes it even more interesting. There is much to see here and it is the kind of scene I like to study in my search to discover what is there and why I am so drawn to scenes like this.

I was a street photographer responding to lines, color, people and places long before I realized what I was doing or how it influenced the direction my life would take. Grew up on the original black & white LIFE magazine, eager for its arrival every Thursday, instantly studying all the photos. That is where my concept of photography formed and where my desire grew to become a photographer. I worked in other industries yet nothing satisfied me as much or meant as much as taking - making - pictures. I have been a self-taught freelance photographer for almost 40 years. I create original photo art - fine art images - sold from my studio, my web site and through a few select online galleries. Commercially, I shoot environmental portraits, photograph events, and develop documentary projects for a variety of nonprofits, corporate clients, and government agencies. I work as a partner with clients, helping them to maximize the strategic power of pictures. My images are used for PR, communications, image building, income development, and marketing.
