Hello Old Friend
Piper, 2006 by Jim Sardonis
Every visit to my in-laws in Boston includes a stop to see their neighbor on Commonwealth Avenue. I took this shot in May, 2011; yesterday I saw that the fence has been repainted and is now grey.
Advertising in Philadelphia
October 2, 2012
While walking to the University of Pennsylvania I noticed this ad in a storefront on Walnut Street between 21st and 22nd. I’m fairly certain it would not pass code in Salt Lake (where I’m currently living).
The ad has since been removed.

Purple Pansies
Lines and Light
Back in Philadelphia to visit my family and looking forward to hearing the Philadelphia Orchestra (where I used to work). Here is a shot of their beautiful hall, The Kimmel Center, designed by Rafael Vinoly, from my archives.
Purple and White Marbled Tulip
Another out of season tulip, but this one has recently become one of
my most popular images. Photographed in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Jacaranda Sunset
While I was in Pasadena in May I loved seeing the flowering Blue Jacaranda all over the city. On a visit to the hills of Rancho Palos Verdes one day I was disappointed at first that the Jacaranda were not yet in bloom. Later in the evening, though, I thought the silhouette of this tree with its feathery leaves was quite beautiful.
