Chicago in Transit

Chicago in Transit is a portrait of contemporary urban life. Photographer Graham Chapman spent a decade walking around Chicago with a camera in hand, capturing people as they moved around the city, whether on foot, public transit, car, or bike. Chicago in Transit is the culmination of that visual exploration. Some subjects are weary, others alert; some engaged in conversation, others immersed in music, books, or simply their own reflections. Featuring over 125 color photographs, Chicago in Transit is organized by time of day, from early mornings to late nights, each photograph marked with its neighborhood and timestamp. The images are intimate without intrusion, brief moments that reflect the solitude and shared connection people feel while moving around a city.
