I began taking photos during walks in my neighborhood of Edgewater on the north side of Chicago. I am energized and inspired by what I see around me, and I find joy in continuing to develop my skills in capturing and sharing my view of the world through my photography. I have shared a sampling of my favorites here, and you can also check out more of my images and shenanigans on Instagram: @whalbu81
