Based out of Chicago, Illinois, trashhand is a photographer with a special talent for capturing the city in which he dwells. In June 2011, trashhand began posting his iPhone images to Instagram, and soon was immersed in the community, finding an audience for his iPhoneography. By December of 2011, trashhand had already bought his first DSLR camera, and his passion and skill set grew rapidly. With many of the images published on his Instagram & Tumblr showcasing Chicago, his reverence & passion for documenting the city’s essence is apparent. “Chicago has meant everything to me in the way that it shaped my images. Every time I take a photo of Chicago, I feel like I’m collaborating with it. My photos of the city don’t just belong to me, but to it as well. Most of the time, I feel like Chicago just gave me the shot just so I could edit and share it.”
