Chicago:

A City Above All

Barry Butler

My Kind of Town – Barry Butler’s work featured in this gorgeous new volume invites us to marvel at our city’s bold architectural beauty and wondrous urban vistas. If you love Chicago, you’ll love this book. A number of other photographers also help me “see” my community and life today. I encourage you to track down their work as well, online and in print. Matt Tuteur brings us face-to-face with people on the street in his stunning black-and-white portraits snapped on the sidewalks of the Loop and Uptown. Melissa Pinney shares her mastery of shadows and light and color and composition, providing us with intimate glimpses of the lives of girls and young women. Kevin Nance offers angles and light and telling portraits of texture and color. Richard Cahan reveals our past, which reveals “us” to us. Who are your favorite photographers, and what stories are they telling?
