Bria & Brittany - March 28 - Create

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I saw Bria (left) and Brittany (right) walk into the square today, I knew I had to take their pictures. Not only are these ladies beautiful but their style is oh so fly. Bria's hair...oh gosh...so sick. Everything she's rocking is cool: her soda tab necklace, the beanie, the shirt and those shoes. I love that Brittany's style is different but equally great. Those kicks are ill, the bandana, the denim, and that Game Boy phone case....damn, these gals have it down.

Did I mention that they are both art students and yesterday decided to create those pins? Check out Brittany rocking one above. They used mini-stretch canvases as the foundation and glued glass onto graphic fabric. Check out their tumblrs to peak into these creative minds! Bria can be found at rebelscausinriots.tumblr.com and Brittany's at olliesodope.tumblr.com.

Creative people never cease to excite, amaze and inspire me.

Jess, Michelle, Tank & Dom - March 27 - Community

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today I met a chill group on my walk home from work through the square. Jess (left) had a fly style and I really liked how she added those fruit pins to her shoes. Check out the drawings by this friendly artist/chef on Facebook. Few can rock the bleached pixie cut but Michelle (middle) certainly did. This beauty was accompanied by her noble dog, Tank, and despite his intimidating name, this pooch was very sweet. Dom (right) was showing some impressive rolling skills when I snapped these pics. He is a graphic design student at Temple and you can check out his work at his soon-to-be-revamped site, www.aptusdesign.com.

PS. After giving these guys my card, they immediately recognized Michelle's boo...remember Josh? With the sick syringe tattoo under his ear from last October? Well he arrived when I was shooting so I got to snag an updated picture. Look at how that beard has grown!

 

The tight-knit Rittenhouse community always blows my mind and I love it so.

Alex, Dave & Earnest - March 22 - Connect

 

 

 

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of reconnecting with a college bud, Alex. We walked the square, chatted about our respective adventures of the past year, and enjoyed the blooming trees. It was a lovely afternoon!

 

 

 

 

Earnest was talking with another square photographer when I asked to snap some pics. I like so many things about this guy's style, from that camera strap to those snazzy shoes to that beautiful camera bag. Earnest is also one of my favorite names. Good work, sir, good work.

 

 

 

Dave's juggling of, not three, but four bowling pins blew me away! But that's not all he can do...Check him out at www.onemansideshow.com and hire him for you next party. Every good shindig should have a fire eater!!

Raphael, Matthew & Billy - March 21 - Dapper Gentlemen

 

 

 

 

 

Raphael was hanging out with TJ, whom you may recognize as a previously featured square person. Raphael was strumming on his ukelele and I soon discovered that he is leaving for the very same city from which I just returned: Los Angeles. He even went to school for photography in the city where I was born and raised. What a small world!

Matthew stood out today in the square because of his dapper and colorful business attire. See guys, suits don't have to be boring! Check out those sweet striped socks and that woven purple tie. Kudos, Matthew. You are one stylish guy.

 

 

This little guy, whom I will call Billy, was enjoying the blooming cherry trees in Rittenhouse with his mom. He looks a little concerned, which makes sense as a random woman getting in your face with a clicking black box would be somewhat troubling. However, that didn't detract from his wide-eyed curiosity and dashing good looks.
