Thanks a bunch, gang.
ThatDarnSacramentan, I'll have to get you in this shot next time.
Ex-Ithacan, there's an embarrassingly nice supply of buildings on and near South Street that are probably overlooked frequently because of everything else going on there. It's worth looking up there too.
fflint, the billboard was more or less a prize so I wasn't paid for it. A local photo arts collective sponsors an annual event where they
invite everyone in Philadelphia to take a photo on one specific day and submit it to them. They later display every submitted photo in their gallery space and select a few for larger display on billboards around the city and my submission was among the chosen.
The best thing about that event, though, is how it democratizes the craft of photography so to speak. People from hardcore pros to kids with smartphones participate (over 1,900 submissions last year) and they really do capture a wonderful collage of a day in Philadelphia.
