SOME PHOTOS!
Last week friend and photographer Rob Howard and his wonderful wife Lisa (aka KITTY), came down to Philly to photograph me for part of a new series of portraits he's working on. As a result I have a bunch of wonderful images of the space and of my life here in factory that I can share with you. Rob has been taking photos for about a million years--his expert handling of light, his ability to capture the tang and texture of real life, and the ease at which he puts his subjects makes for beautiful, subtle, sublime photos--a few of which you can see here:
UP ON THE ROOF. THESE WATER TOWER BASES REMIND ME OF URBAN FOLLIES...
A BOY, A GIRL AND A PLANT.
THE STILL UNNAMED SILVER TORPEDO THAT WE CALL HOME.
WELL....JUST, STANDING IN A PATCH OF SUNLIGHT.
IN THE KITCHEN.
ALL THAT VINYL FAKE WOOD HAS GOTTA GO...
NO EXIT.
OPERATING THE FREIGHT ELEVATOR MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A BADASS!
AVI'S DOG APPOLO, GOLDEN PUPPY OF DESTRUCTION.
VIEW TOWARD CENTRAL PHILLY.
SUNSET FROM THE ROOF.

Hi Peddlars - I have been intending to comment for a while but just now getting around to it - inspired by the lovely photos. I grew up in Jenkintown - not far up the pike from NE Philly and it has always broken my heart that people didn't care about those sturdy and magnificent abandoned factory buildings all over the place there. I drove through that part of the city last year with some high school friends and the area looks exactly the same as it did when I was growing up - which was quite a while ago. At least a lot of the buildings are still standing and maybe there are other great people like you guys and your friend Avi who will see their beauty.
