The Waterfront

Went down to the waterfront last week for a tour around a new casino that's opening in Philadelphia. Table games are only just recently been legalised here in Philadelphia so casino's could be the new leaders for employment perhaps. The one I went to, Sugar House, will employ over 800 people when it opens it's doors on thursday I believe it is.

Around the back though I saw all these birds relaxing and although it's kind of hard to see, I really liked the rays of sunlight coming through the clouds overhead.

The Jack Dillman Band

First time shooting a band since I got over and it was the really very good Jack Dillman Band. Shot them out in Lancaster, which I was happy to see was amish country. Who doesn't love the amish. But no, Harrison Ford was not hanging around.

Cajun Baby

Had a chance the other week to visit a new Cajun place in Queen Village. Catahoula Bar and Restaurant was my first taste of cajun food and it was realllll good. Especially the duck which was ridiculously good.

Walt Whitman Bridge

Coming back to Philly from Jersey over the Walt Whitman Bridge one evening.

Is it a bird.......

Just going through some shots from the other day and noticed this fella.

More from Philly

One thing I've noticed about photographing Philadelphia is the light. The light here is beautiful. A lot of the shots I'm taking look really post processed when in fact it's just a little bit of contrast. I'm not normally one for taking shots of buildings and architecture but when the buildings are as big as they are here, and look as they do, how can you not?

Tony Jones

Tony Jones. I met him over a pint of Guinness in a bar called McGuillicuddys. An extraordinarily nice guy, and well travelled all over europe, playing jazz. Fascinating man.
