This Week on Instagram: World Entrepreneurs' Day, Momentum Countdown, and an Eclipse

This week in Instagram: 1871 started off the week right by bringing the team together to view the Solar Eclipse. The last time a total eclipse was visible from coast to coast in the US was on June 8th, 1918. Our team was lucky enough to snag viewing glasses to catch the event in full effect.

We also celebrated World Entrepreneurs Day by linking up with our fellow Google for Entrepreneurs startup communities in a short video to say "Hello", and encourage entreprenuers everywhere to keep building. 1871 is well on it's way into the Momentum countdown as well, only 69 days left till 10x!

 

You know, the #MerchandiseMart looks great from here. See you on Monday. RG from @crgshprg. Have a sweet picture of the Mart you want to share? Use the hashtag #1871FromHere for a regram.

#DailyGreg . "Any gig when I get to photograph @chicagosmayor is always enjoyable. It means (usually) shooting alongside Brooke Collins one of my favorite photo journalists who works with the mayor's office." . "This photo was from the announcement of the Eagles Entrepreneurs program at @dyettartshs where 1871 CEO @howardtullman would be teaching students about entrepreneurship. This frame in particular was fun because I loved Howard, Rahm, and the staff's reaction when Rahm began playing around with the robotics kit." - @m0t1ey

#DailyGreg . "Back in April we were still doing tours twice a week. Back then I wouldn't typically photograph these tours but every once in a while I'd sneak a shot in." . "Ever since we expanded to the 13th floor it's allowed me to create this shot that I'd consider a staple anytime I am walking with @howardtullman or @tomalexander19 for a tour. There is something about this angle that seems compelling which is why I like it. I got this one of @katrokhlin and here we are--voila." - @m0t1ey

#DailyGreg . "It's no secret that right now, @netflix's series #houseofcards is my current obsession. The story is great, the cinematography is beautiful and if there's any actor who can effectively break the fourth wall (Aside from @WWE's @CMPunk) it's Kevin Spacey." . "That being said, I always draw photo inspiration from what I watch or what is around me, so I have this photo of Senator Dick Durbin from Friday's press conference with @ihccbusiness regarding the protection of #DACA." . "While Senator Durbin was off to the side while another gentleman spoke, I got this photo and tried to edit it how it may look if #DavidFincher got his hands on it--and then realized, Senator Durbin's profile bears a striking physical resemblance to Spacey's." -@m0t1ey

#DailyGreg . "This was from Dave Aronson's pitch at #GoogleDemoDay. We held a viewing party to support @GetPeanutButter and the photo speaks for itself, it's incredible to see the support that our entrepreneurs give each other which makes documenting it even more special." - @m0t1ey

#DailyGreg . "Will the real @rishishah please stand up?" . " @microsoft's (and Member of the 1871 Board) @hecktman donned Rishi's likeness very briefly for last week's @cityclubchicago panel on emerging tech in the city. Rishi was delayed due to storms but made it just in time to discuss @outcomehealth and their transformation from Context Media." . "Great panel, and it doesnt hurt that I was shooting in @maggianoslittleitaly hall. Simple and fun room to shoot in. Wood paneled walls for days." - @m0t1ey

#DailyGreg . "Last week's #WiSTEM networking breakfast was awesome. I've gotten to watch this program grow since I joined the 1871 ecosystem, and this breakfast is one of my favorites to photograph because I get to see tons of badass female entrepreneurs expanding their network, and hopefully their business." . "Nothing really to this photo of @thriveosity's Ritu and Diana, our Director of Internal/External Affaire. I think the window lighting was just spot on and it just made for a great exposure." - @m0t1ey

"It is really special to produce events for a Chicago institution like 1871. This place is truly where it happens for the tech community -- where we gather, collaborate and share ideas. Loads of inspiring people come through our doors and I ask them to share what they've learned along the way and pass along some words of wisdom. This is #TalktoJeanne." . She jokingly referred to herself as a "barnacle in state government" but Paula Wolff is a legend. It was a true honor to sit down with her and discuss the role of technology in the #criminaljustice system. The way we collect data, what we do with that data -- everything is on the table for the Illinois Justice Project. . Paula, Director of the IJP, visited 1871 to discuss criminal justice reform as part of the Summer of Social Impact Series hosted by @uchicago @harrispolicy. Their next event , "Machine Learning & Public Policy", is this Monday, 8/28. . The Harris School will offer a #MA in Public Policy evening program at 1871 in January.
