Documentary photography

Since moving to Humboldt Park last year, I have been fascinated by this area of Chicago. In the fall, I worked on a documentary photography series that focused on Humboldt Park. I have really enjoyed this subject, so I chose to continue to photograph in the area. I've really come to realize that it isn't really a final project that could be completed in one semester. I could spend years photographing my neighborhood! I would really like to continue this body of work and hopefully, one day, have a strong series.

With that said, here are some photos from this semester:
