A Day in the Life

Posted on April 17, 2010February 13, 2014 by Betty Breznay

My photo class was to document an entire day in Philadelphia on April 5, 2010. We shot from midnight to midnight in various parts of the city. I stayed mostly in North Philadelphia and Manayunk. It is not a photo adventure I would do again for a very long time, it really took a toll on my sleep and health for the entire week.
