Penn’s Landing is the place to be during the summer in Philadelphia. I often overhear people complaining on the streets about a lack of things to do in Philadelphia, but there are endless possibilities when you see life through the lens of an artist.
Photography is now- all day, everyday. It’s something that I will do religiously until the day I die. A life of walking, photographing, waiting, watching, and interacting with the public space and other humans fulfills me like nothing else in life. The camera is the ticket and life is the ride!
I was lucky to have the bell ring here! The spontaneous nature of the moment never disappoints me. Come listen to the Centennial Bell ring at noon in front of Independence Hall!
From Middle English fredom, freedom, from Old English frēodōm (“freedom, state of free-will, charter, emancipation, deliverance”), from Proto-West Germanic *frijadōm (“freedom”). Equivalent to free + -dom. Cognate with North Frisian fridoem (“freedom”), Dutch vrijdom (“freedom”), Low German frīdom (“freedom”), Middle High German vrītuom (“freedom”), Norwegian fridom (“freedom”).
It’s more courageous to become the jester and joke about life than be a negative naysayer!
Now what do we do? I think that we should strive to stay outside as much as possible regardless of the weather. Hit the gym as hard as you can in the morning. Slam espressos and get yourself energized. Say hello to strangers and be a friendly neighbor. Brainstorm creative ideas. Strive to create more art each day. Dream big and don’t stop pushing towards goals that seem out of reach!
From Middle English vertu, virtue, borrowed from Anglo-Norman vertu, virtu, from Latin virtus (“manliness, bravery, worth, moral excellence”), from vir (“man”). Doublet of vertu. See virile. In this sense, displaced Old English cræft, whence Modern English craft.
