East Mural
At this rate, I’m going to have to add a “public artwork” category. Perhaps I’ll do that tomorrow. This is a mural along West River Drive near the Girard St.…

3 Angels
Lots of controversy over this one in our house tonight! I’ve got four different postprocessed versions of this shot in a composite, none of which is exactly what I wanted.…

Part Of the Covenant
Part of the outdoor sculpture entitled “Covenant” on Penn’s campus. I don’t really care for the entire thing, but I like this piece of it.

The Other Side
While walking past Penn’s Love statue the other day, I realized that everyone takes its picture from the front. Here’s a shot of The Other Side.

Look At Me!

Floating Pins
Thanks to Strikes in West Philly, who graciously let me snap photos today (going as far as bringing me my own pin to shoot). I’m particularly happy with this one,…

I LOVE fog. Fortunately, I wound up working late tonight and managed to get this shot of 30th St. Station and Cira Centre (with its blue lights on). As for…

Fire and Ice
I’ve been trying to take more or less this shot for several days now, and have had an awful time getting it to come out the way I want. I’ve…

Someone Else’s Art

Smirk
One thing I want to work on this year is portraits. I don’t do enough of them. Now that I’ve got slightly better postprocessing skills, I’m doing some work on…
