I've been seeing all kinds of intense people moments lately and I've been without my camera. I'm posting this as a reminder to bring the camera with me. I have fantastic plans for walking and waiting....

I have been grossly negligent to this blog and considered deleting it, but perhaps my soon to be status as a Lady of Leisure will provide me with enough time to actually cultivate it....

Anyway...

I'm having a show! You should come!

Who: Christa Lohman
What: Love = Love : Protesting Proposition 8

When: June 5-July 5 OPENING this FRIDAY 6:30-9!

Where: The Center on Halsted, 3rd Floor Gallery

3656 N. Halsted, Chicago, Il

Why: This photo essay chronicles the action taken by the LGBT community in Chicago after the passing of Proposition 8 in California which re-banned gay marriage in that state. The change in California's state laws is a backward step in the struggle for civil rights. This decision not only nullifies that state's previous laws, but takes a stab at all Civil Rights legislation that has tried to ensure equal rights to all people in the United States. I hope that my images personalize this 21st century struggle for equality and serve as a testament to all people who have fought in the past and are currently fighting for their Civil Rights. It is time to join this movement and take action. Information will be provided at the show on who to contact to get involved in this struggle. The time is now.

I haven't really been keeping up here. Let's remedy that.

Taken with a fisheye attachment on the 50mm. I love the super soft focus effect and dreamy quality.

I attended the Prop8 protest in Chicago. It was an amazing experience. We took over the streets in the loop and completely stopped traffic on Michigan Ave. Although the photos are not technical good/perfect (i.e. someone really needs to work on her settings...or everyone just needs to remain completely still while I'm photographing:) I think that they accurately evoke the mood of the event.
