While I was in Philadelphia, I spent most of my time at the University of Pennsylvania. I remember visiting the campus a while ago when my cousin was an undergrad there but haven’t been back since. I LOVED the campus. At first I loved how close all the colleges were together (Drexel, Penn, Wharton) but then while I was walking around I feel in love with the community. Everyone is so nice and friendly. I felt like I was home. The campus itself was beautiful and very clean. I also liked how there were plenty of shops and restaurants in the area to keep me entertained.

Home from Philly and it was a blast! I wish I could of stayed longer but hope to visit again sometime soon.

Luckily, my friend Michele lives in Philly and was able to meet me up for a lunch date. She’s an artist as well and thought that I would love the Urban Outfitters Headquarters. She was right! I’ve never seen such a beautifully decorated office and it’s right in the Navy Yard so the vibe was totally awesome. Couldn’t you just sit in this little magazine reading area forever? I want to lay down and stare at those flowers.

Although I love the flowers, I think the guy’s facial expression is my favorite part of the picture. I didn’t even notice he was looking at me while I was taking the picture. I saw it while I was editing it in Photoshop. HAHA!

Today I’ll be in Philadelphia, PA working on some special architectural images. Before the trip I thought it’d be a good idea to head over to Union Station and get a little practice in. Unfortunately there was no water in the fountain. Fortunately, you can always count on birds to make for a cooler looking image.

Again, I was going through some of my older pics and found this one. Right now the Capitol dome is under construction and all this beauty is covered by tarp. Can’t wait until the work is done and to tour the Capitol again. It’s one of those places that you can’t help but go “Wow”. I think my favorite part of this room is all the windows. They bring in so much light that really gives the room life.
