Unless you have lived there, you would not see the joy and pain of your work. The wrecking ball does not erase away the horrible things that happened there. It does not help you image the good things that happened there ither.Let us go forward with the understanding that there were people of all races there at one time. Many made it out of Cabrini and are doing great things with their life. I know this to be true. I am one that did it! The pictures are very beautiful.

I especially like the first image of the close up. You can anticipate what that's going to sound like. I'm also surprised you found a day with clear blue skies in Chicago. A rarity in this city!

I agree that color wouldn't have done the photos justice. What time of the day were you there? As an aside, Aperture has come out with Aperture 3, which supports the 7D! They have also added some nice features. So, I'm hoping it will be what I need. However, I did research the software from OnOne and it is compatible w/ Aperture. Anyway, terrific shots.

The point I got from your post though is that you as the artist made that decision and therefore it is your style. It doesn't matter that some people would have found the colours or BDR ones more appealing, ultimately you can't please everyone. An artist (photographer) shoudl follow his gut feeling. Thanks for all the advice via Twitter this week. I personally agree with you that the B&W images look strong.

In my mind's eye I see the wrecking ball going back and forth like an eraser. I wish that the wrecking ball could actually erase all of the horrible things that happened there.
