Fresh Eyes Chicago

"The premiere experience of seeing and exploring a location is like no other. As an outsider you have the ability to perceive a place and to understand the character and personality in a raw form. As an artist I always welcome the experience with open eyes and an open mind."

I am an artist and photographer from Port Jefferson, N.Y. and the following is a record of my first four days in Chicago, Ill. I was invited to the city to attend an arts program entitled TICA, a teacher’s workshop in digital media at The Art Institute of Chicago.
