Digitally Enshrined

It's nice to see social networking sites being put to good use for something other than hawking the latest mall-emo sensation or soon-to-flop Hollywood blockbuster. Flickr is one of our favorite places to visit, and we could get lost strolling amongst the labyrinthine connections made between photographer's images, the comments, the groups, and the wonderful discoveries we make along the way. A number of Chicago photographers formed the ChiFlickr group a while ago as a place to share Chicago-centric photos and organize outings for the group to snap shots and to compare notes.

Tonight fifteen of those photographers (full disclosure, one of them is Chicagoist's own lovely and talented Olivia Leigh) will be showing their work in the Digitally Entwined show at Acme Art Works, set to run through next Saturday.
