Hello to everyone!
I'd like to send a special thank you to RogueSamus our wonderful group leader for my recent promotion. I am looking forward to helping the group as much as possible in the coming weeks. The first place I am going to start is with submissions and responses to submissions. Throughout my nearly 10 years with DA I've always found suggestions and critiques to be useful guideposts on my journey to better art. I would like to respond to as many submissions with something of substance as possible whether a piece is accepted or not. It's always nice to know that someone is looking watching with an open mind and willing to share their thoughts.
With any luck my initial work to begin open discussions on pieces will be a catalyst for more comments and critiques. Please consider taking 10-15 minutes to look through the galleries and leave some comments for other group members. Reciprocation is the gateway to discourse and a better group capaciousness. It would be great to get some discussions going about our contributors, their neighborhoods, and how they see our great city.
With an open mind and a prime lens,

New Folders, New Group
Long time since my last update...Wow.
Anyway, there are now a few new folders for the gallery. Please appropriately submit your work in the correct folders.
Also, I have been chosen to admin at a new group, ILoveSkylines. Please join if you'd like, there's no harm in it. It has so far turned out to be a good group.

New Icon, DD, New Members
Hello to all the new members and +watchers! Thank for joining my Chicago club. For those members who reside in Chicago that aren't myself, JohnMKelly & Numerius, again, please, we would love to see more of your work. The only real criteria for getting your photo accepted is that we don't want to see lazy, sloppy photography. Please don't just submit your camera phone tourist shots. Thanks.
In other News, I got a DD! My shot of Dearborn Street got featured! Check it out if you haven't already--> http://roguesamus.deviantart.com/art/Chicago-LI-191792211
And, last but not least..you may have noticed the new Icon. I just worked it up in the pas
A few updates
SO! Much has been going on here in town to keep us Chicago folks busy (The Taste, 4th of July, etc.) It is time for an update.
First, the Capture My Chicago thing is going on once again! Check them (and founders) out here ->> http://www.capturemychicago.com/
Second, I have just been accepted as a Contributor to Great-Shot! http://great-shot.deviantart.com I'm quite sure we shall affiliate with them now. :P
Third, I would really like to see some more submitting from members not including RogueSamus, JohnMKelly & Numerius. This group was not intended to be a dumping ground for our stuff. Don't be afraid to add a lot to our gallery.
Hope thi
