I really like taking pictures of flowers, abstracts and water. All these things are constantly changing. That’s why I like the night sky. It’s a sign of what’s coming next; rain, nightfall, and eventually the stars will come out.
Chester P.This is my first year with ASV. I’m really drawn to nature. I love the mix of colors and shapes, heights and textures, the light that accentuates the colors and the sunlight behind the trees was so gorgeous it was magical. I just keep watching and watching. When I walked up to this statue that just appeared in front of me, it was like he was sitting there just waiting for me to come.
Sheri H.When I took these pictures, it was like I was looking at an angel walking on the lake. When light and water come together, it is peaceful and calm. They create a moment when I feel “real.” I feel free.
Robert L.I love to travel and sightsee. On this trip, I took the Metra train to Springfield where I went to a rally for people with disabilities. It was great because I met a lot of other people with and without disabilities. I think it’s important to stand up for your rights.
Sandra W.ASV has helped me reconnect with my past and my interests. It makes me feel like a kid out for adventure and at the same time, it gives me total control over the world as I see it. This year, I tried to show the two Chicago’s; the everyday hustle and bustle of the city and the place where people want to retire. It’s like an optical illusion; which Chicago was I photographing?
Shawn B.I have been with ASV for a long time, so now I am always ready to shoot pictures when that big moment is within sight. I think that is a perfect image of Jesus. It contains all the elements of his story and it depicts his serenity and wisdom. I snapped White Sox rookie #79 Jose Abreau, because I think he will lead the Sox to victory. I love the clouds all lit up. It was as if I was receiving a postcard, it was so perfect.
Kenny S.My pictures record my journey connecting to the world around me. The winter shots create eerie feelings. They are thought provoking, ghostly. In Margate Park. the play of light sent an electric pulse through me and the swirling movement at the underpass felt as if long ago, in sepia, the camera froze forever a mysterious moment.
Michele C.Photography gives me opportunities to be creative and spontaneous. I go out with my camera every day; always on the lookout for an image that unexpectedly grabs my attention. In my photos, I tried to capture the cityscape and the ways the sun reflects off our beautiful buildings.
Calvin C.I love taking pictures in Chicago because I love the town.
Ralph C.I look forward to Tuesday night dinners and being with my fellow photographers. I love Chicago and when I take pictures of the cityscape, I’m tuned into its history. I want to freeze the moment when I see something that catches my attention. It could be a building, or the river walks with the sun glistening on the water or the shadowy objects hidden under the water.
