Today, Maeri’s remains were escorted through the streets of Plainfield and Joliet.

A conversation with Scott Strazzante about Common Ground
The vast majority of my successful diptychs have come about when I just shoot without looking to match farm photos. Only two of the pairings were planned before hand. One was the aerial comparison and the other was shooting out of a second floor bedroom window in the Grabenhofer home to match a photo I had from the second floor of the Cagwin farmhouse. The rest happen when something I shoot on Cinnamon Court reminds me of a farm photo or I make an image that I really like and I pore through my farm negs looking for a match. I don’t really put much thought into the project as a whole when I am shooting at the subdivision. I photograph there like I do when I shoot any other assignment.

For the past six years, photographer Scott Strazzante has been creating a shadow body of work separate from the images he makes working full time for a daily newspaper.
Strazzante, who has excelled at every kind of news assignment in his nearly three-decade-long career, was looking for inspiration back in 2011 when his daughter showed him the unique look of photos made with the Hipstamatic image filter app on an iPhone. He was instantly hooked and has used the technique to create a body of street photography that is much more Garry Winogrand than news photojournalist.

Buying the Farm, Building a Subdivision
A quick assignment on a farm turned into a two-decade look at what happened when developers transformed the farmland into a suburban subdivision.

Scott Strazzante thought he had a quick newspaper assignment photographing a farm in suburban Chicago. Instead, he spent the next 20 years documenting life there and on the suburban subdivision that replaced it.

When Photos Lie: Sticking Up for Jalen Brunson
Link: When Photos Lie: Sticking Up for Jalen Brunson – Shooting from the Hip
I felt the image could be misconstrued, so, I decided that it would be reckless of me to transmit the photo and take a chance that someone who didn’t see the play unfold would think that Jalen Brunson was flipping off the crowd or officials.
A photographer from the Peoria newspaper decided to send his version of the image and it was published online with the caption- “Jalen Brunson of Lincolnshire Stevenson makes a gesture to the Chicago Whitney Young crowd.”
The Twitter-verse exploded.
Brunson’s historic game was now just a side show to an online circus. -
