I can say without any reservation that I love my hometown of Philadelphia. I think it is one of the richest and most bountiful cities for parks, architecture old and new, history, culture and ever interesting neighborhoods.
After many inspiring years of photographing Philadelphia, and a year of conceptualizing, planning, designing, editing, and finalizing; the first volume of my Through An Artist’s Eye: Philadelphia is finally published and available to you.
Volume 1 is a collection of 32 photographs of one of Philadelphia’s most prized and cherished places, Rittenhouse Square. I took these photographs over nine years and through the four seasons. These photographs are an expression of my affection and appreciation of the beauty and elegance that defines Rittenhouse Square. I tried to capture the magic of Winter, the delicacy of Spring, the vividness of Summer and the warm patina of Autumn.
I hope when you see this book that you will see Philadelphia from a new and fresh point of view, Through An Artist’s Eye.
You can preview the book on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R44Ionf7jBM
Starting on 5/27/09 original framed photographs from the collection will be on exhibit at Tuscany Cafe located at 222 Rittenhouse Square West. Also see more from my Philadelphia series at their other location, 725 Walnut Street.

I want to thank my dearest friends, Burnell YOW! and Betsy Alexander for producing the youtube video. Burnell did the video Betsy wrote the music. They are kindred spirits. Without any input from me they created what I dreamed.
Finally this Philadelphia series is dedicated to Alice who is always an inspiration and my best friend.
