Chicago photos…
Posted on Friday, Jan 13, 2006
I applied for a photography contributor with Chicagoist, and need to put together a “portfolio” of some of my best pictures of Chicago. The set I am creating is located here – I’ll be adding to it throughout the weekend, so I would sure appreciate it if you all could take a look at them, and leave comments on the images you like best. This will help me a ton.
If it helps, this is the description of what Chicagoist is looking for:
Chicagoist loves to bring you photos of our city and our city’s people. We added the Flickr button so everyone can participate, but we still want to get a photographer of our own for the Focus feature of the site. Share your photos with us on a weekly basis.
And this is what they emailed me and asked me to provide:
Sample photos. We want to see what kind of style you have and how you capture the city. Send us links to 5 or 7 photos of Chicago that you think are your best work and best capture the essence of Chicago. Remember, this isn’t always like a photo of the Sears Tower or the marquee on the Chicago Theater. Sometimes it’s the local bakery or the kids on the corner playing ball. This is the kind of stuff we want.
