Philadelphia 2011

There has been a tent city growing around City Hall for over a week. So, of course, I had to walk over there with a camera.

Philadelphia 2004

This is a really old photo I took for a college class. My project was on Street Musicians of Philadelphia. I found this man playing in Suburban Station, under the streets of Philadelphia’s Center City. He was playing Hava Nagila.

Philadelphia, 2010

The city had water stations set up along the Parkway for the 4th of July. It was going to be a hot day and, this being a big holiday in Philadelphia, the streets were swollen with people. So, any kind of relief from the heat was welcome, but these stations were an especially good idea.

MITAMA MATSURI

Tokyo 2005

This is the Mitama Matsuri festival at Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. I was a college student studying in Tokyo when our class made a visit to the the shrine. Of course we delved into the controversy of the Shrine itself, and the first half of our visit was a exploration into history and the way different people view it. But I cannot deny how much fun the festival was afterward. Over 30,000 lanterns covered the grounds and the atmosphere was like a carnival with those touches of traditional Japan (such as the dancers and Taiko drummers above). And the food was amazing! Our teachers talked up Japanese festival food to us since the first day of class and it really didn’t disappoint. The night ended with a parade (well, no, it actually ended with me body -surfing on a subway, but that was a little later). During the parade, the dancers pulled the crowd into the melee and before long my classmates were making delirious fools of themselves. They danced side by side with the other party goers of Tokyo, all trying to forget the rifts created by the shrine just across the way…
