[-AX-]

Great photos!

http://phillyskyline.com/photo/eepee/ep55.jpg

On my trip last week I went in that commerce to take a city map!

[pj3000]

Wow sasso. Your Philly threads are great... I always feel like I'm there when looking at your photos. I love the one going over the Ben Franklin Bridge and the garbage shots with cat and 'Pac. Pimp My Wife is a tasty series.

[plinko]

Are you kidding me? (http://phillyskyline.com/photo/eepee/ep32.jpg)

It's like...ya know...

Somebody snuck into Loew's. Did ya bribe the lady on the Concierge Club floor to get up to the meeting rooms?

[MJPhilly]

Wow, amazing work.

[JivecitySTL]

Quite possibly your best work yet. Wow. Just...wow.

[PhillyRising]

Very nice! I will say the picture of the Lufthansa 747 and the St. James was rather unsettling to look at...

But...how cool is it that the bums of Philadelphia wear Chaps by Ralph Lauren?!!

Excellent photos of an excellent city!

[tower]

this is just too much for mine eyes to behold

[Pinoy2.0]

Another contender for thread of the year.

I love all the new angles, so refreshing.

[STLgasm]

giochrist!

[kool maudit]

fucking L. the best ever.

[BroncoCSU05]

pimp my wife...BEEATCH!

[urbanflyer]

Very nice! I will say the picture of the Lufthansa 747 and the St. James was rather unsettling to look at...

Looks like a UPS 747 freighter ;) Gio is all about the sneaky airplanes in the skyline shots...

So many favorites in this one...I love the zoom of the dude taking a breather with his chopper on the hospital roof. Could he be kickin' it any closer to the edge of the helipad??

and uh...two random cans of bud light? must be philly :tup:

[williamphilapa]

thats the good stuff :yes:

[Evergrey]

I like the shots of Aramark (yay) and the angry cat.

[Swinefeld]

Fine coverage of a complex area. Spectacular and spectacled tour.

[giantSwan]

great shots with some incredible angles...

[Ex-Ithacan]

Holy snappin' arseholes. I'm stunned. Ya gots the talent at top notch level here my friend. Waaay too many to pic out for praise. I was wondering about 2 things. When did Cornell University start a construction school branch in Philly? Can you photoshop out that furry rascal leaning into the beautiful skyline shot?

Thank you kind sir.

[mthq]

That's definently a UPS 747... believe me, I know :yes:

Solid work as usual, gio. That shot with the homeless guy and the silhouette of a family is very interesting. I also like the shot with the girl in pink looking at the camera.. along with the eye candy to the right hehe.

:edit: oh good soundtrack too.

[Xing]

Holyshit!!!!!!! Amazing eyes, you have! I just want to pluck them out and keep them for myself.

I have mixed feelings about Philadelphia. I love the way it looks, but I really hate Comcast.

[Boquillas]

You are better than me-- heck, you're better than you! Those are amazing shots.

[Upward]

I think this is one of your best threads ever, and that's saying a lot.

(I suspect I may have made a similar reply once in the past, but if so, it was also an accurate statement at the time)
:banana:

[Independence]

Now those are A_M_A_Z_I_N_G ! ! ! ! :worship:

The Philly, the people, the small things around, the spirit....
All set into scene with perfection.

Wow. :whip:

[keninhalifax]

Oh fantastic! The wide-angle shot of whatever rally that was at City Hall is phenomenal.

[Flash]

Good lookin photographs you've managed to capture here Sasso.

It surprises me how much of an impact the Comcast center is making at the stage. Its almost suck up on me.

[tower]

glad to see you repping the northeast, by the way. did you try a chink's steak? i still haven't tried one despite having tried many of the other local favorites. as a northeast head i am ashamed.

[Buckley]

Great shots.

What's being built across from Children's Hospital?

[M II A II R II K]

Great work there...

[phillyskyline]

:slob:

[relnahe]

http://phillyskyline.com/photo/eepee/ep13.jpg

I love this shot from Upper North Philly! The shot of Hunting Park with both Benjamin Franklin AND Walt Whitman bridges. Amazing!

[boden]

HAPPY NEW YEARS...............................................:tup:

[giovanni sasso]

HEY HEY HEY

i always did say that the urbiesnerdy knows his planes.

pj3000: pimp my wife is even better at 8 in the morning.

buckley: the university of pennsylvania's health system is expanding, and that construction is the rafael viñoly designed center for advanced medicine.

plinko: i got friends in high places.

ithacan: that hirsute so-and-so shows up when i'm shooting from time to time and insists on hamming it up.

xing: come on by homie, we'll show you a good time.

upward: thanks buddy. (more for the lens recommendations but also for the good word.)

ken: that rally is known as THE MUMMERS!

flash: comcast center's steel still has over 200' or so before it's topped out, so when it's finished it's going to completely dominate the skyline.

tower: i did have a chink's steak. i must say, i was a little disappointed. generally speaking, the loud and proud racists i've encountered are excellent cooks.

relnahe: good eye there. that's from albert einstein medical center in olney, one of my favorite perches in the city.

EVERYBUDDY: thanka very much.

[Midwesterner]

Wow, excellent work

[Wheelingman04]

Pennsylvania's other big city is one gorgeous and urban bitch. Damn, this may be Sasso's best thread too.:tup:

[Buckeye Native 001]

Huzzah! v0te 5 for pr0n! :tup:

[i_am_hydrogen]

I know when I check on a sasso thread it's going to be unique. You always seem to find these amazing off-the-beaten path compositions. Beautiful shots.

[ColDayMan]

Hail Mary.

[Segun]

wide angle make ya thigh dangle!

why Jada to the Kiss see ya snapping????

[Kilgore Trout]

that's the best photo of a stop sign i've ever seen, mountain man.

[olga]

Big and great.

[WesternGulf]

Excellent.

[wisla_krakow]

Mr. Sasso... shave that thing please.
You are too much man with it.

[TheMeltyMan]

I just smashed my camera on the ground. Maybe i'll find a new hobby.

Must be nice to have a good zoom for the hobo shots. My 3x digital doesn't get me outside of the guilt radius.

Excellent stuff.

[The-New-Tony-Detroit]

bring that glass to d-town!

nice work!

[Hoodrat]

You just don't quit...your threads get better and better.

Absolutely love the cat on the garbage.

[Xing]

Hey, just a question... Would you mind if I posted some of these on my blog? No one really reads it anyway...

...I guess that wasn't a good way to convince you.

I gave it my best shot.

[ltsmotorsport]

Yeah yeah...another good thread by Gio.

[Serge]

The best of the best of the best.

Best stuff, best guy, best city.

I love the complex area compo.

[volguus zildrohar]

I grew up with a totally different image of "big'uns". As it stands, I'll accept these today but only because you're a nice guy.

And stay away from my building. The oldies will get you too.

[passdoubt]

Chinks always used to make my eyes water from the onions they fry up in there w/ very little ventilation.

[KevinFromTexas]

Did somebody say biguns?
http://www.hoeckisworld.de/Al_Bundy/bal2.jpeg

[Xing]

I guess that's a, "no?"

[giovanni sasso]

oh, hi xing. sorry, guess i haven't checked this thread for a couple days. sure, by all means, go for it. what's yr blog?

serge, vous êtes
http://www.jonathanlaughlin.com/images/lemieux.jpg

tony, i think that sounds like a grand idea.

all this talk about biguns ... this dude i knew in high school formed a ska band in the 90s called "the biguns" that was pretty decent, but i think their hand drawn "biguns" bumper stickers were more popular than their CDs.

eerybody: thinks!

[dfane]

sasso,

very awesome as usual. I always appreciate the girls in your thread lol.

btw- why cant they move the Mummers back to Broad st where they belong?
it like they are trying commercialize it for tourists only.

[volguus zildrohar]

The Mummers were on Broad Street, homeskillet. The judging has been by City Hall for as long as I can remember.

[-GR2NY-]

Kind of OT, but aren't the two tallest buildings supposed to symbolize the brothers in the city of brotherly love? What about after the comcast tops off?

Also, they're raising the old building? Just playing..

http://phillyskyline.com/photo/eepee/ep22.jpg

[streetscaper]

This reminds me of the move "the Pursuit of Happyness"


http://phillyskyline.com/photo/eepee/ep21.jpg

[UglymanCometh]

as usual, some mighty fine camera work done.

what is it about Philly threads + Freeway's "Alright" = Sabraton crying and craving Yuengling?

[williamphilapa]

ridiculously awesome photos :yes:

[jcchii]

you have some significant talent

[JRinSoCal]

Unbelievably amazing pics!!! Philadelphia is a gorgeous city.

[James Bond Agent 007]

I am speechless.

hahahahaha :haha:

[Eigenwelt]

So the first time I looked through this thread, the shot of the old Mercury was bugging me. I couldn't stop thinking about it, and not just because it's a kick ass pic (which it is). I thought it looked familiar but I couldn't figure out why. Then it hit me. That goofy corner where Poplar turns into New Market.
See diagram A.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k287/Eigenwelt/Misc/diagramA.jpg

And finally, as great as all of these pictures are, I think my favorite is the one I missed the first time through. The echoing of the arch in the Tacony-Palmyra/Billiards shot is subtle but excellent.

[giovanni sasso]

holy CRAP, that car is in the satellite shot??? that's nuts. and yes, that's the one. (thanks re: tacony/billiards too. it took about five shots to get that right.)

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrybody: BELLA GRAZI

[Sacto]

Smooooth.

I love that stairs shot.
Really kool stuff.

[Hozay]

Great photos

Incredible thread :tup:

Fits right in with Miles's Jack Johnson sessions, that I'm listening right now...

[HomeInMyShoes]

Eye candy for the soul.

[Kingofthehill]

Why can't we have more forumers like this?

[Jibba]

Glad this got bumped; I missed this one the first time around, which is a shame because it is amazing. Really, really nice photography going on. Nice job.
