"Cart of the Nephilim" by Michael Schonhoff (2005 Avenue of the Arts sculpture). It's on display through September 2009 at Avila University outside the Dallavis Center. According to Schonhoff: "The word nephilim is loosely translated as 'giants' in ancient texts and, in Hebrew, means 'The Fallen (ones)'. And the cart is the reference to that handy load bearing extension of our bodies. The piece speaks to many things regarding cities' efforts to continually recreate themselves."

Founded in 1862 as a patriotic society to support the policies of President Abraham Lincoln, The Union League has hosted U.S. presidents, heads of state, industrialists, entertainers and visiting dignitaries from around the globe. It has also given loyal support to the American military in each conflict since the Civil War, and continues to be driven by its founding motto, “Love of Country Leads.”
ever wonder what it would look like if you raised $60,000 worth of projection equipment 13' off of the ground, on a manual cranklift, held in place by only 4 ratchet staps and a piece of plywood? now you know.
oh yeah, forgot to mention that's 250 pounds of projector on top of the plywood and another 100 pounds of ballast hanging below the plywood, held up there by only 2 straps.
macgyver we are.
The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, the Academy of Music, and the Merriam and Wilma Theaters are within a block.
To the west you have great shopping and dining in Rittenhouse Square. To the east are Philadelphia's famous historic attractions, South Street, Washington Square and Old City.

Haze in Center City Philadelphia, for Labor Day Weekend. Super hot! The sky just looks like a pale gray lamp shade lit up.
The fire was so intense that it blew out the glass and melted the ornate metal details on the historic windows.

The Free Film Collective was asked to do a commercial for TedxPhilly. With 3 cameras, 2 days and no budget we shot as many photos as we could of people holding the iconic red X.
This is Roz. There are lots of way I could describe her, but the best is a bawse.
