“Unf*ck the Future”

Daily Photos - December 5, 2011

I’ve taken on a new adventure to explore street photography here in Chicago and this is the second posting from that series / genre. The purpose of this new adventure is to get out of my comfort zone and to challenge myself to capture various street scenes. This unposed and very fluid style of photography is a major departure from my “standard” flower and landscape shots. I really like how the the first image in the series, Bell Ringer, captures the rawness of the street, but this second posting is so edgy that I was a little hesitant about sharing it...

This posting is of a young man who is part of the larger group of Occupy Chicago protesters who have taken up a permanent post a few blocks from my office. He holds a ‘colorful’ sign in support of the movement and his fellow protesters. He might need to do a little more than just hold that sign if he want to accomplish his goal though...
