In the past year, Gapers Block has presented several photo essays featuring Chicago photographers looking at specific subjects, such as Lake Michigan or the seasons. This year, rather than focus on a topic, we wanted to showcase the talents of individual artists.

And so, this week we're launching a new monthly exhibition series, featuring a photographer or other visual artist's work.

This month we feature photographer Archie FlorCruz, who has been a regular contributor to Rearview and a supporter of the site. We like his work a heck of a lot and we're proud to start off this new feature with him on board. We hope you'll enjoy it, too.
