My series “Seasons of Chicago” is an investigation of the natural beauty of Chicago. It focuses on the trodden and oft unspoken sites and views we take for granted. I made these images using my love of golden hour lighting and the land, with weather amplifying the impact of these images. I decided on them not just for their visuals, but also for the journey that took place behind the scenes. I am also interested in the feeling that they transcribe, be it tactile, emotional, or mental.
