Kensington Ave in Flux

On June 17, 2026, I walked 2.7 miles along Kensington Avenue and the surrounding streets of North Philadelphia, photographing the corridor over the course of 1 hour and 25 minutes with the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome.

The route moved through Kensington, the River Wards, Northeast Philadelphia, and East Hunting Park, tracing one of the city’s most discussed and contested landscapes. Along the way, I produced 68 monochrome photographs, each geotagged at the exact location where it was made.

This project is part of Philadelphia in Flux, an ongoing effort to walk, photograph, and archive the city’s major streets one at a time. Rather than documenting isolated moments, the project creates a geographic record of Philadelphia as it exists today—street by street, block by block, photograph by photograph.
