Among the Debris: A Walk Between Two Rivers

Living in Philadelphia for the past three years, I have found myself walking long distances (and usually not on purpose). On these occasions, I couldn't help but feel a sort of emptiness and exclusion. Although I was surrounded by people and noise, I felt at the same time alone and isolated. 

Charting the course from the Deleware River to Schuykill via Arch Street, I found many small things that seemed to go under the radar that were beautiful in their simplicity. At the same time, these images also had a sort of stark separation or isolated quality.
