“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...

on December 6, 2011Amazing, the federal reserve in the back with the suited up older gentleman walking by it with a purpose, and the kid just looks lost. This is one of those shots when I see it I am gutted that I did not take it. Again great shot!!!!!

on December 5, 2011I'm not sure whether he's going to do anything about the future, but I think he might have a point. Nice shot, by the way.

on December 5, 2011Very good street shot, especially like that you've included those passing by without a glance.

on December 5, 2011Not the nicest sign, but a great record of the type of thing the protest inspires.
