Last year, I attended the wedding of a longtime family friend at a venue in the Spring Arts section of Philadelphia. It’s a small, four block section of Spring Garden street. Ever since then, I have wanted to go back and walk around and make some images. It seems like time has moved more slowly here… the area has retained its original character… and has resisted the gentrification that has taken root in many other parts of the city. I spent a cold, bright, winter afternoon walking up and down and around this four block section of Spring Garden and throughly enjoyed it.
