The first series is from an exercise on perspective and depth. The first illustration was drawn with pencil, then scanned and manipulated in Illustrator for the final three illustrations. The final work is my final project, all done in Illustrator.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTWz4-tZdI/AAAAAAAAABQ/P2YIA2jdA7o/s1600-h/3point_original.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTWz4-tZdI/AAAAAAAAABQ/P2YIA2jdA7o/s320/3point_original.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203019656476845522" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTXgI-tZhI/AAAAAAAAABw/5pNRtz0KLEg/s1600-h/3_Point_Perspective_Deep2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTXgI-tZhI/AAAAAAAAABw/5pNRtz0KLEg/s320/3_Point_Perspective_Deep2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203020416686056978" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTXno-tZiI/AAAAAAAAAB4/Z54C_8YeIRo/s1600-h/3_Point_Perspective_Shallow.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTXno-tZiI/AAAAAAAAAB4/Z54C_8YeIRo/s320/3_Point_Perspective_Shallow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203020545535075874" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTXn4-tZjI/AAAAAAAAACA/FzGdY_uHb38/s1600-h/3_Point_Perspective_Flat.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTXn4-tZjI/AAAAAAAAACA/FzGdY_uHb38/s320/3_Point_Perspective_Flat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203020549830043186" border="0" /></a><br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTYKI-tZkI/AAAAAAAAACI/EOD2OXlofXA/s1600-h/FinalProject.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTYKI-tZkI/AAAAAAAAACI/EOD2OXlofXA/s320/FinalProject.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203021138240562754" border="0" /></a><br /><dl style="text-align: center;" class="profile-datablock"><dt class="profile-data"><br /></dt><dd class="profile-textblock">All images Copyright © 2008, Rachel Chavez</dd></dl><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8490702601541353090-8314411888990676639?l=www.rscphotography.com'/></div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14295904490673538390rachelschavez@yahoo.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490702601541353090.post-9632993836221817582008-05-21T18:44:00.000-07:002008-05-21T19:22:37.939-07:00Since 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.<br /><br />With that said, here are some photos from this semester:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTUV4-tZaI/AAAAAAAAAA4/6hOnHy55Uho/s1600-h/Diving_sign_Web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTUV4-tZaI/AAAAAAAAAA4/6hOnHy55Uho/s320/Diving_sign_Web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203016942057514402" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTUDo-tZZI/AAAAAAAAAAw/W4uYKMtsBDc/s1600-h/Church_Web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTUDo-tZZI/AAAAAAAAAAw/W4uYKMtsBDc/s320/Church_Web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203016628524901778" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTUuo-tZbI/AAAAAAAAABA/56aKushriXg/s1600-h/North_Hotel_Web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTUuo-tZbI/AAAAAAAAABA/56aKushriXg/s320/North_Hotel_Web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203017367259276722" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTTyY-tZYI/AAAAAAAAAAo/00yQ8xv6IWc/s1600-h/Baseball_Field_Web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTTyY-tZYI/AAAAAAAAAAo/00yQ8xv6IWc/s320/Baseball_Field_Web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203016332172158338" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTTOI-tZXI/AAAAAAAAAAg/fPHRVPNiFrs/s1600-h/Alley_Web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jAw-j3JDmQs/SDTTOI-tZXI/AAAAAAAAAAg/fPHRVPNiFrs/s320/Alley_Web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203015709401900402" border="0" /></a><br /><dl style="text-align: center;" class="profile-datablock"><dt class="profile-data"><br /></dt><dd class="profile-textblock">All images Copyright © 2008, Rachel Chavez</dd></dl><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8490702601541353090-963299383622181758?l=www.rscphotography.com'/></div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14295904490673538390rachelschavez@yahoo.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490702601541353090.post-90689987489209468822008-05-07T18:57:00.000-07:002008-05-07T19:05:30.479-07:00<span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Here's to my first post!
