I Have Prints In A Show This Friday @ Progressive Sharing
I will be back in Philly this weekend, and will be happily attending the opening at Progressive Sharing. Come and drink some purified river water from the Schuylkill and the Susquehanna!
From Progressive Sharing:
"We're back with a show about two trips down two Pennsylvania rivers. John Vick and Charlie Kaier documented their 250 mile journey by canoe down the Delaware River while Kellam Clark and friends sailed a homemade barge down the Susquehanna River. Come see our show on First Friday, November 6th from 7 - 10pm at 319 N 11th St on the 6th floor.
We'll be serving wine and filtered river water for your refreshment."
And in case you didn't see my old post from September 2008 about my river barge adventure, go check it out!

I would like to thank all of you that took the time out to vote for me for the People's Choice Award- though I did not receive this accolade, maybe your votes swayed the judges towards including me as an Honorable Mention.
Please visit the PBN site to see some of the amazing work that was submitted- as well as the $25,000 prize winner.

Anonymous Street Artist
About a year ago, I started noticing these strange trash sculptures on random telephone poles in the Fishtown and Kensington neighborhoods of Philadelphia. I photographed this one in July, 2008:
By total chance, riding my bike down 2nd Street, I encountered the person responsible for these strange and whimsical creations as he stood on the corner, artfully arranging and weaving bits of detritus and debris around a telephone pole in the midday sun.
I approached him and we shook hands. I told him I really enjoyed the things he made. It became apparent that he had no vocal capabilities. He didn't seem at all bothered by my presence, so I stood beside him and watched him work for awhile, trying to assess the intention of this individual. His appearance was a bit ragged, his clothing piecemeal, but by no means did he seem homeless. And there was an awareness and lucidity there that made it hard to pin him as mentally ill.
I imagined he was a relatively capable individual throughout most of his life, until the inability to speak affected him profoundly and led to a slow withdrawal into isolation. I got out my camera and asked if I could make some photographs. He came over and patted me on the shoulder, then went back to working.

The Lunar Crater Kovalevskaya Is Named In Her Honor
" She was learning, quite late, what many people around her appeared to have known since childhood- that life can be perfectly satisfying without major achievements. It could be brimful of occupations that did not weary you to the bone. Acquiring what you needed for a comfortably furnished life, and then taking on a social and public life of entertainment, would keep you from ever being bored or idle, and would make you feel at the end of the day that you had done exactly what pleased everybody. There need be no agonizing.
Except in the manner of how to get money. "
-from Alice Munro's upcoming book about the Russian mathematician Sofia Kovalevskaya, entitled "Too Much Happiness"
