philadelphia
yo dudes. today i decided that it would be rad to go to some philly tourist spots and take some photos… im pretty stoked. it is rad to live in a town with tons of history! it is one thing to be pissed at your dad for following some stupid yellow line in boston when you are ten and an entirely different thing to live 8 blocks from the liberty bell and decide to go check it out. history is way cooler when you can split it up into mini-trips within your own neighborhood. as it turns out, i live really close to a bunch of historically significant places. i am by no means done exploring, but this is what i did today… i started off at the liberty bell.
then i went to the brouse, which is sweet
thats what a tilt shift photo would look like if i had a tilt shift lens

washington square park at 7th and locust is my favorite park in philly
Washington Square is my favorite too. The eternal flame there was turned back on a few years ago, it had been extinguished either because of construction, or because the homeless were roasting pigeons on it.
We have picnics there that go real late. The park rangers are very hospitable, way nicer than the regular fuzz.
Hey, I’ve been in that room with that bell too!
