If I were a real photographer, I’d blow these two photos up next to each other. They’re from back to back days in July; one was taken outside a Junkyard on Grays Ave. The other is a pair of frames found on Powelton Ave this morning. One represents the junk we buy and then throw out. The other captures the stuff we save — this human was on-time to school during the 1954 school year and seventy years later the framed certificate was on a street corner in West Philly.


I like taking and making photographs. I’m trying.
This article/review provides a list of assignments, based on the titles of the various exhibitions:

Journey to the center
There’s a Lee Friedlander photograph of a Dallas freeway highlighted in the article that I want to recreate on the Spring Garden bridge.
