Passyunk Ave Photowalk

steve and long shadows on oregon ave
On Martin Luther King Day last week, I went on a photowalk with Andi and Steve (That's Steve at right above). The weather wasn't too bad. We started off at Broad and Passyunk and continued west to the river and then down to Oregon Ave back to Broad St and up to Passyunk again. It was a fun walk in a part of town I'm not normally in. The light was harsh and the shadows became incredibly long as you can see above around 22xx Oregon Ave.

Here's a shot over by 24th St and Passyunk Ave. Once I saw this site after downloading it to my computer, I thought it was an ode to Zoe Strauss.

old, old, old glory
Here's a set of very tattered flags which we found by a PGW lot by 28th St and Porter St.

And here's a shot of Andi (left) and me (right) on Oregon Ave again. It was hard to stay out of the way of each other's shots with the incredibly long shadows. I definitely stepped into a few shots.

A flickr set of 25 shots from the walk. And a few shots on my photoblog of the walk starting here.

    Nice shots. The link to your photoset on Flickr is incorrect though, just fyi.

    You know, the more I look at the bottom shot, the more I really, really like it. The 90 degree angle make the proportions of the subjects almost correct, not like typical exaggerated shadows at all, and it all combines to make a oddly eerie daytime shot.
