About
Allegheny Ave in Flux documents a continuous walk along Allegheny Avenue across North Philadelphia, traversing multiple neighborhoods from west to east. The route passes through Pennsylvania, Allegheny West, and Richmond, recording the character and transformation of one of Philadelphia’s major east–west corridors.
The collection consists of 107 monochrome photographs captured with a RICOH GR IV. Every photograph is geotagged, creating a spatial record of the avenue as it existed on June 14, 2026.
Completed over 2 hours and 46 minutes, the walk covered 5.7 miles (9.21 kilometers), observing the architecture, streetscapes, businesses, residents, and fleeting moments encountered along the route. As part of the ongoing Philadelphia in Flux project, the work serves as both a visual archive and a document of a city in constant transition.
