Featured in the series are Philadelphia’s own Blue

Model, Arbus and Solomon in “We Are the Subject”
Many times, street photography is an act of self-discovery and self-expression.

Here's a little about the

For the UPR that means you need to make a series of 3 photos per theme, which can vary depending on the event (day events are 6 themes and night events are 3 themes). In the end
Through a Different Lens: A Stanley Kubrick Exhibit
Here's another interesting exhibit for you. The name Stanley Kubrick probably brings to mind filmmaker, not street photographer.

With good reason, filmmaking was Kubrick's claim to fame. But did you know that before he made motion pictures, he was a street
