I love it when people come up with cool names using the PH from Philly, like Phillies Phan and MY FAVORITE PHILEBRITY, now there’s a new magazine and website called Phlare. Ok I wish I came up with it. Phlare magazine is for Professional Women in Philly. www.phlaremagazine.com – OK I went to NYC to shoot an event, so this is all I will be writing today.

ANOTHER CHANGE IN THE SKYLINE IS COMING

No, it’s not a new building

it’s a make-over of an old building. On my way to work this week I noticed a Zoning Sign on McCormick and Schmidt’s “decorative” window, located at One South Broad otherwise known as the PNB Building.
Not being satisfied with the signs that flank the entrances to the building Wachovia has something else in mindthats right, “remove the existing Four Signs that are on top of the building, replacing them with Two Worded Signs and Two Logo Signs that represent the existing bank inside the building”

Didn’t they try and do this before and it was struck down by the Historic Commission. Maybe they think Mayor Street could do some of his trickery right before he exits the Office.

The Hearing is October 23, 2007 at 1515 Arch Street, 18th Floor, Room 18002

SEPTA False Advertising…

SEPTA decided that they could make some money by selling the front of their building like they sell on the outsides of the busses. The zoning commission granted them the right to do so (idiots). Dunkin Donuts took the offer, unfortunately too many people are looking for coffee and a donut there to no avail… Source of confusion…

ROCKTOBER IN PHILADELPHIA – Springsteen Weekend

Well September and Rocktober. Last week I shot Bono in Philadelphia, yesterday I shot David Lee Roth in Philadelphia and last month I photographed Bruce Springsteen in NYC,. In honor of his concert tonight and Saturday night (neither of which did I get tickets as I was in NYC shooting the likes of the Boss those dates the tickets went on sale), I share with you these shots.He wears this religious symbols on his new CD cover. These shots were taken during Fashion Week in NYC. My friends and I were hanging outside of Tom Fords store on Madison Ave trying to see who would show up at this event, we had no idea who would come, and that’s exactly what a paparazzi is, random/candid shots of celebrities. As we were waiting there we saw a huge SUV waiting at a light about a block away, and all these “autograzzi’s” were chasing it on FOOT, with albums in their hands. As it pulled up we could see the album cover. As a MAJOR BRUCE fan I couldn’t believe my dumb luck. And even better than that, I was the only person to get the “two” shot of them together…as they arrived.So my friends who didn’t get it waited, as I did, the two hours for the Springsteens to emerge from the party. They didn’t get the two shot then either.

BRUUUUUUUUCCE, see you next year on the stadium tour!!

David Lee Roth leaving his hotel on the way to Wachovia for the 2nd night of the Reunion Tour

OK the Phillies lost and that sucked, but hey I picked up the new Springsteen CD (I love it, but I am biased) and then on my way home from work I caught David Lee Roth exiting the Four Seasons signing photographs for the “autograzzi”. For you readers who don’t follow my other site www.confessionsofapaparazzi.com [plug], an “autograzzi” is someone that collects autographs on photos, albums, CD’s, guitar plates, and then sells them to the fans or to “brokers” for anywhere from $25 up to $75 for the guitar plates. These guys are like pirahanas and can “rack” up a good 2 – 6 “graphs” at any celebrity stop. The “money shot” for me is capturing the celebrity sign an item, making sure I get the pen in, and the object being signed. It would be much better if the celebrity looked up, but he’s got a cigar in his mouth so that should be unique enough.
There’s no doubt you will see this shot in the Inky or Daily News this week, but hopefully People Magazine will pick it up too.

Don’t get Nervous, It’s Not What You Think…

It’s not a Good Luck Symbol for the Phillies, it’s just the traditional raising of the Flag at a construction site. In this case it was for the construction of the scaffolding around William Penn in preparation for his cleaning which is just about to get underway. GO PHILLIES!!!
