I photographed different experiences across Chicago on a $10 second hand film camera

Chicago has the largest life expectancy gap between neighborhoods of any city in the U.S. Some photos are from West Garfield Park where life expectancy is 70. If West Garfield Park was a country, it would place 150 out of 210 locations ranked by the UN - lower than North Korea, Syria, and Iraq. Some other photos are in the Loop where life expectancy is 88.2 years. That would easily be 1st place in the same UN ranking. West Garfield Park and the Loop are only a 10 minute drive from each other.

“Chicago is one city. We shall work as one people for our common good and our common goals.” - Harold Washington
