Beautiful industrial

Jen Schuetz has been photographing consistently since her audio engineering days in college went sour. And with that, she's happy to announce her entrance into the cyber realm with the launch of her new site, treesquirrel.org.

In the past, she has been captivated by foreign environments, namely Europe and the Caribbean, but is also able to find beauty in Chicago's many hidden corners. Finkl & Sons, a steel mill in operation since 1879, became the catalyst for exercising an interest in images with an industrial flair. One of the steelworkers, employed for 30 years, couldn't understand her reasoning for photographing a scene all too familiar to him. Her retort: "To me, it is beautiful."
