Magnum-Fotograf Alex Webbs Fotoessay über Chicago

http://vimeo.com/34711258

Dieser Photoessay (siehe http://vimeo.com/34711258) ist Teil der Zusammenarbeit von Magnum Photos und der Leica Camera AG. Magnum-Fotograf Alex Webb erforscht mit seiner Kamera die Strassen von Amerikas "zweiter Stadt" Chicago.

This photo essay, part of our collaboration with Magnum Photos, documents Alex Webb's exploration of Chicago and the Loop. Inspired in part by one of his early influences, Ray Metzker's "My Camera and I in the Loop," he explores the streets of the US's "Second City." Though unlike the street photographers of the so-called Chicago School (Callahan, Metzger, Sturr, Sterling), Alex Webb has chosen to photograph the city's multitudinous character in color. Having spent most of his 30 year long career shooting outside of the US, Alex Webb turns his lens to his home nation during this very important election year.
