I used to write a column for Philly Mag called One Shots—a single standout photo of the week. These days, I’m capturing one standout shot every day. So let’s switch it up: Five for Friday—the five hottest photos of the week.
Philadelphia250, a program of the Philadelphia Visitor Center in partnership with the City of Philadelphia, is taking America’s 250th birthday straight to the neighborhoods with the Block Party Bonanza.
Presented by Comcast NBCUniversal, this citywide initiative is designed to make sure every Philadelphian can take part in the semiquincentennial celebration. Running all summer, it blends Philly’s love of community gatherings with a focus on civic pride, bringing a fresh spin to one of the city’s most beloved traditions, the block party. Thanks to Jefferson Health, and Tiffany Tavares for supporting the efforts.
Mayor Cherelle Parker reminded us “ain’t no party like a #Philly Block Party!” as she, and the amazing Kathryn Ott Lovell, kicked off the Block Party Bonanza! press conference with an incredibly #Philly themed celebration!
Tonight I will be covering the Red Cross Ball, I could only hope it will be as exciting as well I photographed Kate Gosselin there, who was not excited that I got the first photo of her boyfriend and former bodyguard, Steve Neild and she holding hands. I mean geez it was in public. I did go on Fox29’s Good Day and chit chat about the whole thing. Happy 30th Anniversary of Fox29’s Good Day… I’ve been with them for 15 years. See you on April 1 when we celebrate on air.
The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia Paradigm Award brought together Philadelphia’s business leaders for an afternoon celebrating innovation, impact, and leadership, with support from Independence Blue Cross, Exelon, and Jefferson Health
