I'm still shaking my head over the way this one played out. I had decided that a weekday morning would give me the best chance to shoot this the way I saw it in my head, because the sun would be at my back and I would have a better chance at an unobstructed view with the weekend crowds gone. However, the grounds staff were all over the place taking down stages & platforms from the previous day's corporate-sponsored event, and the lawn was strewn with bottles and other trash. In my own self-interest I picked up some of the eyesores myself, wondering why I had gotten up so early to pick up trash. Time to walk away for a while. When I returned after exploring for a bit, the workers had departed, the sun finally broke through some thick clouds, and I had just settled on my vantage point when this cute little girl broke away from her Mom and walked into the frame. Click! All's well that ends well. JKEL

Inside the Ayer
I discovered this building through a Philly architecture book that my nephew had given me last Christmas. So here I was in my scruffy jeans & sneakers, hair blowing crazily in the wind, and now a little gash in my forehead because I grazed a tree branch while looking up at the building sculptures. Naturally, when the doorman caught me shooting the doors, he invited me in. I'm not worthy! I hope I didn't miss anything while shooting some details, though I probably did. However, I left feeling pretty lucky about gaining access to this great space. Where to next? JKEL
