Adventure surrounded the final day of the weekend. Fulfilling a longtime dream, I was granted entry to the Divine Lorraine Hotel on North Broad Street with photo pals Laura and Dustin. I got to break out the new Holga, too, figuring there’s probably no better place to run some 120 film through a toy camera. Here’s the start, with plenty more to come.

Philadelphia Portrait Project: Star Foster

Philadelphia Portrait Project: Star Foster, originally uploaded by dominicmercier.

Name: Star C. Foster
Neighborhood: Center City
Photographed in: Rittenhouse Square, on the Goose Girl Fountain
Why she chose it: Star chose Rittenhouse Square because it’s been one of her favorite spots in the city, and she’s been visiting ever since she was a kid growing up in Northeast Philadelphia. Star calls the park a gathering place for all sorts of city residents, and notes that her favorite part is that it’s a gathering place for artists. In the park, she’s seen one-man bands, break-dancers, drum circles, a midnight techno-dance party – and even a faux animatronic chess playing mime. Specifically, she cose the Goose Girl because she’s a good landmark for where to meet … if only she knew exactly what it was that the young girl is doing to that goose.

Note from Dominic: Out of the 40 or so shots, I picked this one because of her facial expression. Is it any wonder they call her Sarcasmo?

If you live in Philadelphia and want to photographed for the project, just let me know. You get to pick the place, and you get a 4 by 6 out of the deal.
