Following this blog, you've seen several shots taken at this Blue Line stop. On this day I was trying to capture the mood that I perceive in so many of the people. Being as close as it is to Cook County Hospital and the Illinois Medical Center, many of these people are or have been recent patients or have visited inpatients. Others in this "down and out" area of Chicago look discouraged and lacking in hope. I've spoken with several who have described their woes, their poverty and their homelessness.
The photo was converted to B&W in the digital darkroom and then tone-mapped using HDR Pro to gain the grainy, diffused effect.
