Chicago Photography: Sidewalk Sale
Hi everybody! Long time no post! I’ve been very busy at work and have been neglecting my shooting. I’m also preparing myself for a engagement session sometime this week or next, so I’ve been reading up and looking at examples of engagement styles. I’m excited because I’ve never done a session before, and I don’t shoot candids or people that often, so it should be interesting!
For today’s pictures, I decided to show them in the form of a gallery. These were mostly all taken at or near Daley Plaza today for the City of Chicago Sidewalk Sale. Interesting things! A lot of cool items and clothing stalls set up with nice people – even on this crazy hot day. I didn’t take a lot of pictures of the stalls, as you know how people don’t appreciate a random guy shooting you, but I thought I got some interesting shots of the surroundings.
I read a post recently that basically explained that while digital storage is very easy to come by these days, it’s important to delete! I tried this methodology of making ‘passes’ over all of the pictures I took today. Out of ~45 images, only 9 or 10 made it to the gallery. That’s a 20% retention rate – not great! I hope to increase that number by taking less but better pictures.
I’ll dive into each of these separately, but check them out!
