August already!?

Looking for employment has been difficult (more so in my mind than anything else) I've had a couple of weddings in the last two weeks- they were fun. I've decided to continue with special projects like the "Reverie Vintage clothing shots" and the "Philadelphia Grid Project". I'm shooting with old technology and some digital.

Here's a shot of Grisha Enikolopov in the garden of the Coffee house in Fishtown. I did not have a light meter for the Speedgraphic 4x5 b/w1950's camera but the goal was to make it look "vintage".

Anyway, I went to Centennial park with Rich the other day to "rediscover" a hidden path that, I think, is not frequented much by the public. The path is overgrown with foliage, lots of plants, tree leaves, stems and what not. Actually it's wetland area and a great refuge for birds.

A few weeks back when I was there and a little bird, a blue jay, (Cyanocitta cristata) stepped in front of me churping loudly and said "Yo dogg...What you doing here?" "You gotta go. Get outta here!" Typical Philly attitude.
