Even among stone giants, the sky is still within reach.

#philly #photography #eastcoastkin #centercity #photographersofbluesky
A dramatic upward view between tall urban buildings, revealing a patch of bright blue sky with soft white clouds. The symmetrical lines of the buildings frame the sky, creating a tunnel-like perspective that draws the eye upward, suggesting height, aspiration, and openness.

There are moments when the hollow swells within me,
filling the spaces where breath once lived.
My only therapy—
the whisper of trees,
the quiet pulse of the earth beneath my feet.

Black and white photograph of a quiet forest scene. Sunlight filters through tall trees, creating a radiant starburst in the upper left as it pierces the branches. The ground is covered in fallen leaves, and a soft light reflects off a small stream in the distance. Shadows and textures create a mood of solitude and reflection.

A glowing jack-o’-lantern with a jagged smile and triangular eyes shines brightly in the dark. Small, blurred orange and yellow lights flicker in the background, adding to the spooky Halloween atmosphere.

One reality

#StreetArt #OneReality #UrbanExpression #ArtInPublic #Philly #ArtAndEmotion #WallStories #eastcoastkin
A collage of street art on a weathered wall featuring a pixelated red and black image of a sad clown with the words “CHEER UP,” a hooded cartoon figure flashing a peace sign with the phrase “DOOMED FUTURE TEARS,” and several large hand illustrations making symbolic gestures. Layers of graffiti, arrows, and scribbles surround the art, creating a chaotic urban scene.

There are things I control within my life. Being is what I prize most.

Fringe Bar in Philadelphia adorned throughout with tall arched windows letting in daylight. Empty tables are neatly set with plates, glasses, and napkins. Outside, a stone bridge wall and glimpses of the city can be seen through the windows, creating a peaceful, urban atmosphere.

a dark and slowly winding staircase tunnel shaped like the rib cage and throat of a dragon from within that ascends eventually into the light, up to the incredible viewpoint that looks out over the local, wide, lazy river and the surrounding dense jungle

A bright white brick wall stands in front of a larger, pale green brick building with peeling paint and patches of red ivy creeping along the top edge. The sky above is vivid blue, dotted with soft white clouds, creating a calm and minimal composition.

Impressionist-style painting of a sunlit street corner with a three-story building surrounded by palm trees. The golden light casts colorful reflections across the cobblestone street as a lone figure in a dark dress walks toward the building under a bright, hazy sky.

A meticulously maintained garden scene under a cloudy sky, featuring topiary bushes sculpted into domes, cones, and spirals. A large tree with a mulched base anchors the foreground, while a lush green lawn and hedge line lead to a series of carefully clipped shapes in the background. The entire landscape radiates symmetry and precision.

NYC, 43rd street view captured from my bus. The side mirror reflects cars, lights, and skyscrapers behind, while the road ahead stretches forward with parked cars and glowing streetlights. The contrast shows both perspectives—past and present—in one frame.

Photo of a blue sky with light, textured cirrocumulus and cirrostratus clouds. The clouds form rippling and streaked patterns across the sky. Tree branches with leaves frame the top and sides of the image in dark silhouette.

the observable world

#photography #blackandwhite #streetphotography #observation #visualpoetry #eastcoastkin #philly
Black and white photo of a curved concrete walkway crossing a shallow reflecting pool. On both sides of the pool, people are casually scattered — walking, talking, pushing a stroller, and looking into the water. Large leafy trees fill the background under a cloudy sky. The scene feels calm, introspective, and balanced, inviting quiet observation.

A dense forest scene with a fallen tree and twisted roots stretched over rocks beside a shallow stream. The water is clear, revealing stones and scattered yellow leaves below the surface. The atmosphere feels wild, untouched, and a little mysterious.

A young child looks up in awe inside a mirrored room filled with glowing, colorful jellyfish-shaped lights. The reflections make the space feel infinite, with rainbow colors shimmering across the floor and walls.

The traveler walks in relief, the isolationist halts in fear, the narcissist sees only himself, the liar loses his identity in masks, but the humble man sacrifices and stays true.

Street art of a child wearing a tall blue dunce cap, sitting slouched on a stool against a red brick wall. The child’s head is lowered, hands in their lap, and the figure is painted in grayscale, except for the cap. The word “TREATS.” is spray-painted in black below the stool.

A black-and-white photograph of a winding park pathway lined with empty wooden benches. Large, old trees with twisting branches tower overhead, their leaves forming a canopy. Dense shrubs and low plants border the path, creating a peaceful, shaded atmosphere.
