Cross Dressers: New Hope, PA, July 2012

 I went to a cross dresser event at a restaurant/gay bar in New Hope (PA) with my friend whom was helping a friend do his first cross dressing EVER in public.

I actually had SO MUCH FUN! But, I'm not accustomed to partying so much, and got worn out and exhausted.




So many people wanted to dancer with me, or kept requesting me to dance on the floor.

 So, these are the only photos I shot...
Probably not my BEST work...

Collins Park: Chestnut Street Philadelphia

John F. Collins Park: 
Chestnut Street
Center City Philadelphia 費城! 
(Not far from Rittenhouse)

 Collins Park is 1 of those special hidden gems in Center City. It's located on Chestnut Street. You would never know it's there unless you stumble upon it, which is literally how I found it in in 1998. Altho' I remember it differently. Somehow in my mind I remembered it with spheres on the fountains/pedistools. I went looking for it, but I couldn't quite remember it clearly in my mind, nor where exactly it was. So, either my memory was off (which very well could be) or it changed.
But, I KNEW it was the right place when I saw the gate! There's a special gate, and at certain times the gates are closed. You never really know why, because I've been around during various parts of the day or night when it was open or closed.

 Collins Park is like a secret garden, with a modern art zen fusion. I could easily see it in video of my friends belly dancing or doing a yoga class video, or even an MTV video... maybe 1980s-1990s synth Pop... who knows?

I wish I had sought out this place earlier because they have a live music series of musicians playing music inside the small park. I had JUST missed it when I got there.
Maybe I will try again to catch it tomorrow.

 For more info about the live music series see information here.

Logan Square Fountain: Center City Philadelphia

費城!  
I tried some experimental photos, at Logan Square. It's a really well known landmark in Philadelphia. You're not supposed to swim in it, but everyone does, and no one ever stops it.

It's very relaxing & refreshing to just sit around anywhere there.

I shot several angles there, but I preferred my frames which had The Moore College of Art in the background.

Just a little side note:
When I was in 8th grade I was awarded a scholarship to take an art class at The Moore College of Art.
