This month the staff at shutter soul wanted to do something a little different for the monthly artist spotlight. Moving forward, the monthly spotlight will include not only local Chicago artists, but periodically the spotlights will also include updates on Chicago civic, environmental, cultural, and social welfare organizations and events that are working to make Chicago the best city in the country. Okay, we're not going to lie we're slightly biased about the last statement. Well without further adeau, shutter soul is proud to announce the new monthly artist and community spotliight. Just in time for Earth day we're spotlighting the green civic and community organizations dedicated to promoting the environmental health of Chicago for all Chicagoans.

As part of a new segment on shutter soul called Emerging Artists, the staff would like to recognize the work of emerging artist and Chicago based photographer Jeremy Edwards. Jeremy's latest project The FROM THE POCKET features images using iPhone cameras and then processed using various iPhone photography applications. What truly stands out in Jeremy's work is the intimacy of his portraits, candid street scenes, and his ability to juxtapose objects and people under contrasting light and space.
January Chi-Lights
Every month in the windy city, there are special cultural moments, events, and people that shine. More than just a standard highlight, we here at shuttersoul.com like to call them Chi-Lights. This January Chi-Light is Dieter Kober, founder of the Chicago Chamber Orchestra, who celebrated his 90th birthday Sunday, January 10th.
