2. Before I left St. Louis (old city), while talking about my plans to get back into photography in Philadelphia (new city) , a friend (shout out to book club), suggested I start a photography blog. I immediately dismissed the idea. I’m not the blog type.
3. I have something now that I haven’t had for a while: time.
4. I recently discovered, and loved, the blog of a new friend, and after talking with him about the process, was left intrigued.
1 +2 + 3 + 4 = “Photographing Philly”
I present my photographs here as a way of keeping myself accountable to a new goal: (really) learning photography. I welcome and hope for your comments. Which photos do you like and why? Which photos do you find boring and uninteresting and why? I will number photographs so that specific comments are easy to make. PLEASE COMMENT!!!
And so I leave you with my first day out photographing my new city.
Enjoy.

I love all the photos and I love the concept. I like the combination of photos on buildings and people. A skyline brands a city. The people create the life - the culture of the place. You now are part of the life of the city.

#4 - I like the bottle. My attention is immediately drawn to that person that is not pictured. Where is he....or she? And what has he left behind?

ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of this image. It captures Philadelphia's music, shopping, and diversity. Ironically, the best part of the photo (the glaring eyes of the nearly obstructed girl) is the easiest to miss at first glance.
