"Day in the Life of Evanston: A Photo Story" Photo Album Now on Sale
No matter what the season, Evanston is a bustling city full of life. In an attempt to capture the essence of our town, we invited local shutterbugs, professional and amateur photographers to help us illustrate the beauty of Evanston across all spectrums on a fall day. The fall session of "Day in the Life of Evanston: A Photo Story" was held all day on October 22, 2011. Photo album available for purchase here>>>
Through the eyes of our residents and their camera lenses, we captured glimpses of the different corners of our town on a beautiful October day. From the colors of the foliage at the Farmer’s Market, the spirit of a child mid soccer game, to the lights of the stadium flooding the night—our residents stepped up to the plate and helped us compile a uniquely interesting view of Evanston. With over 160 submissions, the event was a success.
The enthusiasm for this event was encouraging and the City of Evanston hopes to capture Evanston through the seasons by holding a “photo day” for every season. This project demonstrates the character of our town and provides a distinct interpretation of what it means to live in Evanston.
All submitted photos are posted on the City of Evanston's website and 30 photos were selected to be part of our “Day in the Life of Evanston” printed photo book which is available for purchase.
