I have a blogroll now! A really important part of getting away from social media for me is the ability to keep finding the genuinely interesting and good stuff that kept me using it in the first place. I’m hoping that I can use this blogroll not just to share some of my favorite writing and comics with other people, but as another way to keep track of my favorite writers and artists for myself.…
I started this roll of Fujicolor 200 in I wanna say July of this year and then accidentally left it in a hot car for a few days. Pretty happy with the results anyway since I didn’t exactly choose film photography for highly accurate colors. I have been obsessed with getting a film photograph of this specific location in Philadelphia ever since I got lost near Penn Presbyterian Hospital and walked…
The moon over The Drake apartment building. Taken from an adjacent parking garage roof with the camera pressed up to a railing for stability. A shot of the skyline westward of the same parking garage roof. I’ll have to try to take more photos from parking garage roofs. You can get some interesting angles like of that other neighboring parking garage I posted about previously.
These photos are mostly from a stop in Center City. I decided to park on the top floor of a parking garage to see if there were any good views or interesting angles up there or in the surrounding streets. The internet meme of a liminal space is usually of an eerie, empty transitory space. It’s good to remember that sometimes these places are alive. Being right by the Kimmel center during some kind…
I used to drive past The Reading Pagoda and the Roxborough antenna farm all the time on the way to classes. Once I saw what the results from 800T film look like I knew I had to get some pictures of these landmarks. So I planned a day trip up to Reading with a couple of friends specifically for a picture of the pagoda with clouds catching the sunset in the background. It was super windy out and…
Last week I went for another after work hike with a friend of mine. This time at Smedley Park in Delco. It’s very easy to get to since you can get dropped off right at a trailhead by a D1 (Media) trolley at Pine Ridge like I did or at Paper Mill. One of the first options we were presented with was whether or not to diverge into this combination runoff tunnel pedestrian bridge. These pictures are…
Monday - Unity Java in Manyunk After having been sick over the weekend and missing not one but two Pride events with friends I was very happy to be able to go on another hike along the Wissahickon after work on Monday. I had plenty of time to kill before the hike though since I clock out at 2PM, well before my two friends (Karl and Mike) who went with me. So I read a volume of Banana Fish while I…
Went hiking last Saturday along the Wissahickon trail with some friends. One of them had just moved into the same neighborhood as another friend of mine from a different context, so I had to introduce them, and a hike was perfect for that. Originally we were going to go to Ricketts Glenn but weather put us off of it. We covered most of the Forbidden Drive trail which was also recently in the news…
Every time I eat Popeyes chicken it makes me feel really awful afterwards, so I don’t know how I let this happen to me. Just the other week, I had taken some overtime. It was hard work that involved covering several miles of ground in the hot sun. Th le whole time I’m out there I’m thinking about a local BBQ place I had tried recently, Wilson’s Secret Sauce. Apparently, they’re due to feature in…
After my last roll of film, I went through this roll of Cinestill 50D in just a few days. I started at North Philadelphia Station and walked down broad street one day. Another day I went to take some pictures of churches and the Woodland Ave Cemetery. Then I just walked around Center City and snapped whatever caught my eye.
