Carlos Javier Ortiz Kicked off the filter Photo Festival 2011, here at Harrington College of Design by showing us a few of his many works in progress. Some of these projects he shared with the audience included his work on Migrant workers, which allowed the viewer a first hand account on the living and working conditions of illegal immigrants working to pick the fresh produce we take for granted. Another project was his documentation of the protesters of Occupy Wall Street and Chicago. Finally he also shared his project, Too Young To Die, which is about young Chicagoans killed by gun fire his documentation does not stop after one day, he continues to document the long road ahead that families face after losing a loved one.
After Carlos Javier Ortiz finished describing his work there was a panel called, Using Photography For Social Change. The panel consisted of Kevin Miyazaki, Jason Reblando, Liz Chilsen & Krista Wortendyke. They spoke about their work on based on the documentation of the Chicago Housing Authority, The Violence in Chicago, and the Demolition of housing projects such as Cabrini Green.
