Very Important!

Tonight (Saturday, 05/01) there is a gallery opening at the Stephen Daiter Gallery in Chicago that we here at Team Elledge consider to be quite important.  The show is called, "Passing the Torch: The Chicago Students of Callahan and Siskind" and features vintage photographs taken by students of Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind during their teaching years at the Chicago Institute of Design.  
 
If you are unfamiliar with Siskind and Callahan, we would just like to say that their images continue to directly affect modern photography, and they have a legacy of influence that is very far-reaching.  In fact, one of their students, Charles Swedlund, happens to have been one of Paul's teachers, and was a great influence on him during his school years.   
 
We know that there is a lot going on this weekend with Art Chicago, but we strongly recommend that you take some time to drop by the opening reception party and check out this series of work.
