Last stop: West Philadelphia - last week in Philadelphia vol.7

I spent my last week in Philadelphia at Lily's place. He was renting a room with two other people in a residential area in West Philadephia. My stay there marked the end of the three weeks or so in an amazing Philadelphia. My friend from New Jersey picked me up from there and took me to his home. So next week I will share photos from my stay in New Jersey.

 

At the photographer's studio - last week in Philadelphia vol.6

One of the personal things I wanted to do in Philadelphia, was to meet a photographer and shadow them during their work. I met this young, but a very good photographer at his studio. He had the assignment to take lingerie photos for a newspaper. The Sunday morning lazy kind. It consisted of a wide, lifted bed with two girls having their lazy morning in bed while reading newspapers and drinking coffee. The light setup was great as the studio had lots of natural light and that is what he was using. I snapped some photos on the side and over his shoulder. It was definitely a great experience and something I was able to take with me from Philadelphia.

Deep talk with Howard - last week in Philadelphia vol.5

We stopped, Howard and I by some park, which name I have forgotten. We shared some deep conversations about our lives and shed some tears. These photos were taken like this originally, as we were lying down on our backs and I just turned around and took these two photos exactly like that. 

The Liberty Bell - last week in Philadelphia vol.4

Another great sight was seeing the Liberty Bell. The Liberty Bell, previously called the State House Bell or Old State House Bell, is an iconic symbol of American independence. Once placed in the steeple of the Pennsylvania State House, the bell today is located across the street in the Liberty Bell Center in Independence National Historical Park. The bell first cracked when rung after its arrival in Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appear on the bell. In its early years, the bell was used to summon lawmakers to legislative sessions and to alert citizens about public meetings and proclamations.

Belt with my on lips - last week in Philadelphia vol.3

Howard has many interests and skills. One of those is his ability to make moulds of whatever and turn them into whatever :) Yeah, so he can mould your face, nose, lips or nipples and turn them into bracelets, belt buckles, cups etc. He made a mould of my lips and turned it into a belt buckle. 

Free concert at the Love Park - last week in Philadelphia vol.2

As we were exploring the excellent Philadelphia, we also visited Love Park. It happens to be one of the most significant sights in Philadelphia. Though the city has lots of sights to offer, Love Park presented a cool concert organized by some youth with live performances and a DJ.

When I was in Philadelphia I had a chance to visit Philadelphia City Hall. It provided a nice view of the city. This week I share photos taken from the tower.
