Summer in Chicago

I spent this summer in Chicago interning on a stormwater management project with the Center for Neighborhood Technology, a think-and-do tank that focuses on creating sustainable urban communities.  This was my first summer in Chicago, and since I had time off after work I was able to explore the city much more than I have been able to during the school year.  I tried to capture photos that were immediately recognizable as places in Chicago: the L tracks, local hot spots like the Logan Theater and North Ave. Beach, and the ubiquitous remnants of Chicago's industrial past. More to come this fall!
