Some say 90% of life happens on a beach. Some think it’s ok to put ketchup on a hot dog. Some might whisper that Chicago is a fly-over kinda place. But have you ever been kissed on a Chicago beach? Been attacked by biting flies, under a hot sun, on a Chicago beach? Enjoyed the smell of Ribs, while reading a book, on a Chicago beach?

Framed in Chicago is a conceptual series of documentary photographs at the water’s edge—part archive, part artwork. All photographs are made with a camera and physical frame—no AI-generated imagery.
