I photographed Robert Yaro, president of the Regional Plan Association, this week for CONTEXT, the journal of AIA Philadelphia. The shoot was on of the most trying shoots I’ve ever had. Robert is a high-speed rail advocate, so our original intention was to photograph him in Philadelphia’s beautiful 30th Street Station. Photography is allowed there, […]

I love Philadelphia’s Italian Market. Nothing can smell so bad (fresh fish and crabs, dumpsters, and live game birds) and so good (cheese and coffee shops) at the same time. It’s a heady mix coupled with hilarious Philly attitudes and personalities, you’d almost expect to see a Rocky run through in his grey sweatsuit and […]

Architectural Abstractions

The good folks at Hidden City Philadelphia noticed one or two of my abstractions and asked if I had more or would be willing to shoot a few more. I happily obliged, but, unfortunately, they didn’t have enough room to run the full text I had written. That said, I’ve included it here, along with a few of […]

Big, open, and airy, and with a great backdrop of a series of maps of the city behind his desk. The piece focused on his transition from architect (he’s a former partner in […]

I met up with Ashley and Steve on the grounds of the Swedenborgian Glencairn Museum (where Steve popped the question) for a quick engagement shoot. Ashley is a very close friend of my younger sister (so close that my sister is the maid of honor), so I knew her quite well. We started off in […]

Until closing in 2005, Globe Dye Works’ hulking complex in Frankford was a major player in the dyeing and bleaching industry. Maintained by five generations of the Greenwood family, Globe Dye produced skeins of yarn and spools of thread for use across the world in everything from clothing to upholstery. Its closing left more than […]

Lunar New Year 2012

After many years of putting it off or just plain forgetting, I was reminded of how badly I wanted to shoot Chinatown’s Lunar New Year parade when a friend asked me a few weeks ago if I was planning on going. Despite the scheduling conflicts that come with having a 10-month-old at home, I am […]
