This week, Time Out's Photo Issue hit the stands. Including a reader-driven photo contest to capture “Hidden Chicago,” and a series of photos to see "what happens in Chicago on a Monday morning between the sleepy hours of 5 and 6am," this issue was full of rich images of all things Chicago. We also liked "High Camp Factor," (p. 44 in Check Out) a short list of great tents for both the novice and experienced camper.

See the photo contest's first place image below:
