I decided to participate in a project spearheaded by photographer and colleague Robert Drea in which participants would photograph their respective voting centers during this historic election.

The collected efforts of over 20 photographers from the Chicago land area have been combined under the title of "The Polling Place Project" and has produced phenomenal photos ranging from rural areas (like my photos) to the full blown Obama rally in Grant Park in Chicago on election night. I am proud of the work done by my colleagues and myself and proud to be associated with this project.

Please check out a sampling of my photos from my polling center. As works come in from fellow artists, I will let you know where you can view them.

Thanks,
