The three story tall image of one of the Philadelphia 76ers most famous basketball stars, Julius Erving, has graced this corner of North Philadelphia since 1990.
"Feeling restless and desperate to improve the quality and variety of the murals, Jane made a decision in 1990 that would forever change Mural Arts Philadelphia. She raised money from a private foundation to bring her old friend and mentor Kent Twitchell to Philadelphia. She wanted a “breakthrough mural,” and Twitchell—a nationally acclaimed California artist—was just the man to paint it. “We knew we had to push the boundaries,” she said. 'The goal was to try to integrate superior artwork with a subject that touched the community in a special way.' " Mural Arts website, Jan 2021
Philadelphia - Philadelphia - During the Summer in Philadelphia, several "Night Markets" are scheduled. A large number of food trucks (perhaps 30) gather in one place and streets are given over to pedestrians who wander and graze on the offerings.

The first snowfall in Chicago... didn't amount to any accumulation but at least made for an interesting commute home. This is the intersection of Ridge, Broadway and Bryn Mawr.

Give me an envelope and I'm going to push it. This is a first attempt at stitching together five large format 4x5 X-Ray film negatives to form a panoramic sweeping view of a bend in the crypt row section of Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia. It would have been better had it been more overcast so the lighting was more even throughout the scene and that car was not camped out there on the right side. I only wish there was some way to share the full size, full resolution file because there is a crap ton of detail in this one, end to end. This is a technique I look forward to using more in the future when I find appropriate subject matter.
Founded in 1836, Laurel Hill Cemetery occupies a 74-acre tract of land in the East Falls section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and overlooks the Schuylkill River. The cemetery was placed on the National Historic Landmark list in 1998 as one of America's largest Victorian-era cemeteries. It's a great place for a casual walk or a day of photography with its many statues, marble obelisks, and elaborate hillside tombs and mausoleums.
4x5 for 365 Project details: greggobst.photography/4x5-for-365
Camera: Busch Pressman Model D 4x5 large format press camera.
Lens: 150mm Caltar-S II (Calumet re-branded Schneider Symar-S) F 5.6 lens in a Copal BT shutter with B+W brand yellow filter.
Film: Five individually exposed sheets of Kodak Ektascan BR/A single-sided X-Ray film.
Exposure: 1/15 @ F45 at ISO 80.
Development: Self Developed film in Rodinal 1:100 in three reel Paterson Universal Tank using Mod54 six sheet 4x5 insert. 15 minutes with an initial minute of inversions then 10 seconds of inversion on minutes one and two then let it sit until minute 14 when I do a final ten seconds of inversions. Kodak indicator stop bath. Ilford Rapid Fixer. Photo-Flo. Hung to dry.
Scanning: Negatives scanned with Epson V600 in two scans per sheet and merged back together in PhotoShop since the V600 doesn't natively support 4x5 scans in one pass. All five negatives (10 separate scanned image files) were then merged together using the Photomerge tool in Photoshop CS 5 to form one panoramic image.
See it BIG.

They were lined on Ridge Ave. from Hammond to Highland ... In Indiana. We were wondering if there was a clinic or Planned Parenthood nearby.

This was found in Laurel Hill Cemetery not long ago, by one of my friend's co-workers. It appears to be the real deal. We can't tell if the hair is real or not, but she is wearing jewelry, including a religious medal, and there are about six darts on her skirt. Weird, eh?
Gone these many years, he was neighborhood fixture. He supposedly spoke 4 or 6 languages (but not really english), and lectured about communists (I think! He was hard to understand) while he was selling his pretzels.
Peck MIller's Bar on Ridge Ave. in Roxborough.
My great aunt used to tell me stories about how she used to go to Peck Miller's "tap room" for a highball.
We used to live on Martin Street, and once ventured here. When my friend asked the bartender to show us her boobs, she flashed us. We never went back.
