'School Daze' Group Show

Future Tunnels

Chicago, Illinois. 2004
w/ digital manipulations, 2007

On March 31st I took part in a group show called School Daze at a new gallery just starting up upstairs from a hip downtown clothing store. You can read about the show on the store's blog here. These two photos I tweaked for the show are one piece called "Future Tunnels." It's a couple of shots from the part of Chicago's "El" Train system where it goes underground downtown. I used Photoshop to blast up the colors and also to add some halftone screen dots and lines. I framed them in a used screen print frame that had a lot of green emulsion stains on it. Looked pretty good, but would have been better if the photos were bigger - I only printed 5x7's. Next time....
