After many years of walking around Philadelphia with my camera, meeting people and talking about the city and how I approach it as a photographic subject, I am now offering Photography tours of Philadelphia.

join me in one of my many Photography Tours of Philadelphia. Whether you favor cityscapes, people or architecture you will find it during one of my tours.

Some of the sites we will photograph are Elfreth’s Alley, Independence Hall, Rittenhouse Square, and City Hall, just to name a few.

There are many tour sites to choose from. Whether you choose the Historic area of Philadelphia or the Italian Market tour you will have eye catching images to photograph.

I look forward to walking with you, helping you take better photographs, and talking about the many aspects of Philadelphia.

The title of this photograph of Rittenhouse Square is Midnight Walk. I post it as a prelude to my comments on the film Midnight in Paris by Woody Allen.

I have been a Woody Allen fan from his days as a stand up comedian; and I like almost all of his films. Some I consider masterworks. But Midnight in Paris is my favorite.

Aside from the wonderful story filled with literary characters and references, what could be better than a film that visually relates to his audience an artist’s love affair with a city . It is apparent that Woody Allen loves Paris. From the opening frame the beauty and elegance of that great city is witnessed time and again through the artist’s eye.

Oddly enough, even though I have been photographing Philadelphia for a long time, It wasn’t until I saw Midnight in Paris that I had a clearer understanding of my approach to photographing Philadelphia: I too visually express my love affair with a great city through an artist’s eye.

One Enchanted Evening.

I realize one of my photographs is successful, when it speaks back to me and tells me that I was at the right place; at the right time; doing exactly the right thing. That is how I know that I should not have been any other place, doing any other thing, but what I was [...]

I know I haven’t blogged in a while but hopefully it is better late than never. The next preparation for the Saturday morning gravy is the Broccola. This is a flattened piece of beef that is seasoned and then rolled. It can be held together by toothpicks, or as my grandmother used to do, tie [...]
