Well I had my first critique for my Digital Class, and even had to turn in prints! We had to choose a location, and go there on three separate occasions, and photograph anything interesting we found. It was a type of street photography, and it was really cool to see everyone’s locations and where they went. 

I went to the Western Stop on the Blue Line towards O’Hare, which many people thought would be boring. I even had my teacher comment on how that was a really dull area. Well, I made it my mission to make something interesting there, and I came away with some really good shots I thought!

We had to design a map of the area as well, and I had fun doing mine through Photoshop. The first photo is the prints that I hung to be shown in the critique. Overall, the critique went well, and many people commented on how it felt surreal or creepy. It was a pretty cool assignment, and a good way to see a piece of Chicago.
