About The Artwork
This building, with ornate details and solid footprint, has always been a favorite of mine. I stared at the details over this entrance for a very long time, finally deciding to include a piece of the old elevated train section which may have been constructed about the same time. After exploring the image in Photoshop I decided to make it black and white and to create a grainy, graphic look. I'm pleased with the results. The Fisher Building's web site provides a look into history. "Completed in 1896 The Fisher Building was commissioned by paper industry magnate Lucius Fisher and designed by famed Chicago Architect Daniel Burnham. It was the 2nd tallest building in Chicago at the time and is the oldest remaining 18 story building in Chicago...On March 16, 1976 The Fisher Building was deemed worthy of preservation by the federal government and added to the National Register of Historic Places...On June 7th, 1978 The Fisher Building was designated as a Chicago Landmark by the Chicago Architecture foundation...The Fisher Building and the Village Green Family (the developers) have won the National Customer Service Excellence award 5 years running with The Fisher Building specifically receiving the Platinum A-List award."

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.
