I prefer the original shot of the mailboxes but maybe crop to the boxes a bit more on the right removing that bit of door frame and keeping the brick. It's a very small crop but I think it would help a bit.

Nice colour saturation on these shots and you also have good lighting on them all, no harsh or blown out highlights at all from what I see.

I love the shot of the dumpster and the Animal Chen poster next to it. Must be the skate rat in me but I really like it a lot.

 

I love this city....all cities have there downsides...the only thing i dont like is the people in philly...Just hit me up when ur in my beautiful town

 

I am gonna grab my gear and try to get out there this summer sometime. Looking at these shots really makes me want to hit it up for a couple days and shoot a bit.

 

thank you very much for your comments/compliments/criticism nightshade. i hope one day to take shots that might come close to comparing to yours.

im glad that my photos inspired you to come shoot out here. you should visit baltimore while on the east coast.

the 'have board will skate' posters are what caught my eye when i was walking by. im so mad at myself for forgetting to shoot the toilet that i found down that alley. it'll prolly still be there when robyn and i go pick up her photos.

 

It is Philthy for sure, but I will be damned if the city doesn't grow on you.
