Model and cigarette
As I was taking this picture of this model, I specifically told her that I was going to convert it to a Black n White image.
She really didn't seem to mind .... as she slowly enjoyed another drag.......

Planting Thoughts
This shot was taken during the Mix n Mingle portion of a Calendar Model Shoot last evening
I had a chance to "mingle" with some of the beautiful models in attendance there.
These two beautiful models traveled from Queens, New York, just to be in the house...here in Philly
I assured both ladies their trip would not be in vain.... and I would feature them here in THE URBAN PERSPECTIVE .... to which they agreed :)

Stormy
This image was shot yesterday.
There was a sudden hail storm in the Philadelphia area .
I had just enough battery power left in my camera, from constant use this past weekend on various gigs.
I snapped this one shortly after everything had subsided.
It was the sunset peeking through the stormy clouds that caught my eye as I walked into the back room of the house.

Get On Board
(click on image to see the larger versions)
Aspiring Model Stefan Andre contacted me via one of my Craigslist Ads I posted online for my photography services
He explained that he needed to start building a portfolio now that he's back in the modeling industry.
Stefan is from the West Chester , Pa area.
We coordinated a shoot out in West Chester, Pa, and our first location shoot was in the old railyards of the West Chester Pa Rail co.
The gentlemen in charge there gave us unrestricted access to shoot in the railyard.
This is one of a couple hundred shots we photogged that day. Other location was in one of the well known parks out in the area.
I wanted to start uploading some of these images, not only to give Stefan greater exposure, but also to showcase some of my talent for any prospective clients.
From a photog's point of view, Stefan is a great guy to work with and would be an asset to your fashion campaign. So do consider hiring him. Contact him by clicking on his link here :
Model : Stefan Andre
I will upload more images and try to keep this post updated with newer shots as time permits.

Great day out in the West Chester, Pa railyard.
In addition to my client's model shoot , which was shot on location,
managed to take some personal shots.
I want to give a public THANK YOU to the good people working at the West Chester Railroad
They granted us unrestricted access to shoot in the Rail yards.
I'm waiting for my client to update his MySpace, and other social networking accounts, so I can start uploading pics from that day's shoot, and link over to his page(s) so others know how to contact him for hire.

Cut To the Chase
First things first... or should I say..lets Cut To the Chase.....
You can see this image larger by clicking on it. Gives you more impact when viewed large
Street shot , crouched down on an overpass in Conshohocken, Pa.
To the left of the railing ........ Schuylkill River about 50-60feet down. To the right.... a steady stream of traffic that makes said overpass sway somewhat from the weight of the traffic, and a teeth chattering rumbling that courses the body.
Now throw in a little vertigo... yes, that would be me crouched down on knee composing this shot.
Keepin my equilibrium in check from "nothing" on the left, drone of traffic on the right, and looking to infinity straight down the lens....
"When a clear path is necessary to achieve success, the astute individual will clear the path ...by any means necessary." (Zen chess philosophy..... grasshoppa)

Google "Gaggle"
Another one of those playful titles I came up with for this image.
(Be sure to click on the image to see the larger versions on black background)
A "Gaggle" is a group of geese on the ground (I think river or body of water counts as ground as well) I Googled it for you, and provided the link "Gaggle" for more information
I was walking over an overpass in Conshohocken Pa....trying not to let vertigo get the best of me...... and saw small riffs on the river.
Upon zoomin in ..... this is the image I captured...

A Goose on the River
I shot this from an overpass this past weekend in West Conshohocken, Pa
I was walking across a bridge that I normally drive over daily.
I looked down and was mesmerized by the reflection of the building on the water.
Now keep in mind I get vertigo really bad when there's water involved. This shot was taken about 50feet above the river on some narrow "path" also served by joggers, bikers, and pedestrians in general .
So once I got my bearings and regained equilibrium , I was able to comp this shot.
The nice surprise was finding the lone goose on the water ,after I downloaded the image from the camera. I would have been content with just the reflection , but the goose is the cherry on top of the cake for this shot .
You can click on the image to see the full impact in various sizes and on a black background.
Yesterday was one of those photog days where everything was "clicking" (no pun intended)
Sometimes me and my lens get in a zone.......

Leprechaun?
I had wrapped up a shoot with a client and pre planned to drive into Conshohocken, Pa for some personal photogging.
Everyday when I drive into work, I see things I wouldn't mind photoggin, but can't being that I'm in a moving vehicle
So yesterday, I thought it would be one of those days where I could drive up there, park, and then walk around in the area.
Lo and behold...... what do I stumble into....
A St Patrick's Day celebration with parade and all!!
This was "music to my eyes" and the potential for some nice shots.
It was a festive occasion, the streets teaming with presumably folks proud of their Irish heritage.
One thing's for sure, and I say this "lovingly" .... The Irish know how to throw a party !!! :)

How IT looks in Tha Bottom
I was in the section of West Philly today known as "THA BOTTOM".
Now all residents...or at least those that "really know" Philly, know that ... it's not a joke down there ......
This is that section of the city where .... even uneasiness is felt from the surrounding buildings..or what remains of them lining the streets
Here's where "Swagga" means... I'm "bout it bout it" or "I'm not"......
Grimy... as the young folk would say.
I was transfixed by this image I snapped....and trust me, I was transfixed by ALOT of things I saw "down there"

Seaside Chicks
Shot down on the Atlantic City Beach last month.
This is one of those shots I originally "overlooked" while sifting through my images.
I tend to photog as many images as possible when I'm out and about...for times like these (when I haven't shot any new images in awhiles...which is a rare occurrence in my world)
I guess this image could fit into a piece of the story I started when I first started posting this series of images.
It was some pseudo Twilight Zone episode ... about a seagull I was photoggin on the beach , and the Bermuda Triangle.

Philly Skyline After Dark
This shot wrapped up my day of photoshooting in the city that day.
The Philadelphia Flower Show was in town, and parking was at a premium.
Even my favoritie garage when I go into the city was almost full.
I ended up parking on the rooftop level around 7th & Arch.
What photog in his/her right mind would pass up a shot like this?
Practically unobstructed view of the skyline
If you view the larger size...or even the ORIGINAL size of this image, (by clicking on the image) you will even see ole "Billy Penn" atop of City Hall (the building with the yellow clock in the foreground)
Guess which one is the COMCAST building? Wasn't too hard huh? How did you know automatically... even if you've never been to Philadelphia... which one it was? LOL
Anyways, I had already packed in my camera and lenses.... until I got off the elevator and started walking to my car.
I guess there was a reason I was meant to park on the rooftop that day....... and I finally understood why when I snapped this image.

Water Fountain Scene
So as I was framing up this shot at the Philadelphia Flower Show, I thought I heard somebody trying to get my attention.
Now I had my Sansa MP3 player on, with earbuds snug in my ears, so I was sort of in "a zone" while trying to frame this one up.
Anyways, a lady next to me was asking if I could email her this particular image. She tried to tell me her email addy, and asked if I could remember it . hahahhahhahahahahhahahahahaha
Luckily , I --- "just happened to have" (ROFL) "several" business cards I just ordered with my new logo on them.
So I assured her that even if I couldn't remember her email from memory , I'd remember which image it

Shot this past weekend at the Philadelphia Flower Show.
With popularity gaining in social networking, such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, I asked myself a question when I saw this image...
I wander if anybody ever "popped" the question....or should say "Twitted" the question to their prospective mate using Twitter.
You figure people use Twitter to promote their businesses, or for just social chit chat.... why not just pop the question that way as well .

Snapped this series of shots last evening around sunset.
I finally got a half way decent tripod, so now I can start shooting with longer exposures, and lower ISO's
This is how a sunset looked last evening. I haven't Photoshopped any colors in or anything.
I'm still getting adjusted to losing that hour of sleep, so I was too tired to even retouch this image last evening.

But this is how an Urban Sunset looks, now that we're in Eastern Standard Time

Everybody "looks" in Chinatown
I don't get to this section of the city (in Philadelphia) often.
I enjoy Chinese tea, so there's a small shop in Chinatown that I frequent, when i want "real" Chinese tea.
Anyways, just when I think I've seen everything in that area.... I look up ...
and saw this image.

The Economy
I often hear about "it" in the news.
I was at the Flower Show today in Philadelphia.... at the Convention Center.
I was wrapping things up, when I looked out the window and then it hit me......
"We" are The Economy.......... (chucklin)

Philadelphia Flower Show 2009
This is one of many that I snapped at the Philly Flower Show today.
The theme this year was "Italy".
You can view any of my images in the larger versions by clicking on them
Over the next few days I will BLOG a few of them here.
Once you click on the image, you will see that I started a SET of images called Philadelphia Flower Show 2009, it is there that I will upload the bulk of these images.
Had a successful "shoot" over there, and once I'm rested up from today's activities, I'll get to work on them right away
In the meantime, hope you enjoy this little 'number' that I've posted here.
It almost looks like an Aloe Vera plant gone Wild
