Photographing Philadelphia

THE PHILADELPHIA GRID PROJECT ©

The Philadelphia Grid Project is a long term project which will attempt to photographically document the city of Philadelphia. Each month we will set out, individually, to photograph a pre-assigned area of the city. The subject matter is of your choosing. The only requirement: the photograph must be made within a pre-assigned geographic location. The following month, the group will assemble with the results of it’s’ efforts and select one image per photographer to be added to the archives.
The “grid concept” was born in Portland, OR and operates under the title of the Portland Grid Project. I learned about it from a good friend and member M Bruce Hall. I immediately thought, what a fantastic way to organize the photographic documentation of a city.
I am looking for an additional 8 street photographers to join. If you are interested in learning more about this project or would like to join please contact me.
