Ben Schumin Photography Portfolio

Ben Schumin is a professional photographer who captures the intricacies of daily life.

Turn signage at the intersection of two alleys in the Lincoln Square neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois. The purpose of these signs is to indicate which way the alley continues, to discourage drivers from ending up at a dead end just north of this intersection.
