Wavy 2

Wavy 2

I left my camera at home today; by the time I realized, it was far too late to do anything about it. So I’ve dug into my actual film archives.…

Bossone at Night

Bossone at Night

I wound up downtown bowling with co-workers tonight, so I had the opportunity to see some of my familiar territory at night on the way back. This is one of…

G.E. Aerospace

G.E. Aerospace

This building, on the edge of Drexel’s campus, is the former G.E. Aerospace building. While growing up, a friend’s dad worked in this building. It was recently converted into apartments.

Another day without a repaired laptop. I spent an hour trying to move pictures over the USB bus… and that’s just not cutting it. Hopefully Dell will actually dain to…

Repetition 2

Repetition 2

Also from my archives, a shot from nearly the same place as the previous one, but looking in the other direction. This is the line of food trucks, the Conrail…

Intersection

Intersection

The PC card slot on my laptop is busted (already), so I picked my second choice from yesterday. This is the intersection of three Drexel buildings.

Bennett

Continuing with the construction theme: I couldn’t pass up this opportunity at work today. It’s not that often that one has this line of sight up to someone working at…

Commonwealth

Commonwealth

Having moved to my new laptop, I’ve rediscovered some of the shots in my archives waiting to be posted. I’ve decided not to post the ones that are obviously out-of-season,…

LEDs

LEDs

From the shoot a couple of nights ago, this is the scene that attracted me to pull over and take some shots. These are the new lights on boathouse row,…

Für Tobi

Für Tobi

Went out to dinner with friends tonight, and on the way back I was captivated by the replacement lights on boathouse row. I stopped to take a few quick pictures,…

Summer Shower

Summer Shower

I love fast-moving summer showers, like the one that blew through today. The eastern sky was lovely and dark, while the sun had just broken through the clouds in the…

Hamilton Court

Hamilton Court

Took a walk through West Philly on my way to meet our friend Sherry for lunch. This is the Hamilton Court Apartments building at 39th and Chestnut.

Stormy Weather

Stormy Weather

A number of big storms have blown through the area lately. Leading to pictures like this.

Pipes of Pan

Pipes of Pan

It’s been a while since this was taken, but I remember it being over by Penn’s recently renovated gym. I don’t know what that makes this building, nor why it…

Center of the World

Center of the World

I have even less time today than yesterday. Hopefully I’ll get out for some new shots tomorrow — but as it is, I’m raiding the archives. This shot could have…

Bluer Cross

Bluer Cross

I don’t have much time tonight… so here’s a quickie. Also from the walk back from ESP, here’s the side of the Blue Cross tower. This used to be the…

Weeping Building

Weeping Building

Not much to say today; see the past few days’ comments for more information about this series.

Empty

Empty

This isn’t the shot I wanted to post today. After spending a long hour working on another shot, I just couldn’t get it to look right. Very frustrated, tired, and…

Shattered

Shattered

Second in the series of the greenhouse. I’d say more, but we’ve just gotten in from a wedding and I’m exhausted…

Throwing Rocks

Throwing Rocks

I took some pictures of a nearby greenhouse that has been abandoned for 8 years now. It was a flower shop when we moved into our house 9 years ago.…

Old vs. New

Old vs. New

Another shot of Drexel’s new Bossone building, but with the Paul Peck building’s chimneys in the foreground (formerly the Centennial Bank, designed by Frank Furness).

Serendipity

Serendipity

A week and a half ago, Septa (the local public transportation agency, which I rely on to get to and from work) lost all power to the commuter trains. As…

WPEN

WPEN

It’s amazing. I lived within blocks of this from 1990 through 1995, and I’ve worked within blocks of it from 1992 to the present day. I must have walked past…

Friskys Revenge

Friskys Revenge

Last week I found a little time to start catching back up on other peoples’ photoblogs, and found myself at :: FriskyPics ::. Frisky loves cranes, and I had to…
