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.

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 […]
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 […]
