4 Elements of Hip Hop

The four principle elements of hip hop, emceeing, DJing, breakdancing and graffiti are resurrected the last Thursday in every month at "The Gathering" in West Philadelphia in the Rotunda, on Penn's campus.

Practicing for the worst

On a frigid Wednesday Dec. 6 evening, the Philadelphia Fire Dept. was out in force to train new recruits near Callowhill Avenue.

Ghostface Killah and Theodore Unit come to Temple

Promoting his new album, "More Fish" Staten Island rapper Ghostface Killah stopped through for an interview with me on Temple's campus alongside his crew Theodore Unit on Monday, Dec. 4.

Raquetball Re-invented

Raquetball has long been considered the pasttime of corporate lunchbreakers or retired weekend warriors. No more. On Temple's campus, you'd be hard pressed to find an open court as there are always atheletes pushing their stamina to the limits (and risking their eyes) in the process. Step inside the glass and you better be ready to run.

"The Mad Dog Blues"

"The Mad Dog Blues" a 1971 play written by Sam Shepherd was adapted and brought to Temple by graduate student Brenna Geffers. The main character is a rock star similar to Jim Morisson and Hendrix, but with the introspection of Dylan. He copes with stardom and identity through the use of acid and other mind-altering drugs.

Modeling

This is my go at modeling. My subject is Anthony and he wanted some head shots done for a play production audition. Shot near Fishtown.

All That Jazz

Chris' Jazz Cafe, on Sansom Street in Center City Philadelphia hosts some of the most talented and world-renowned jazzers. On this evening, the Ken Dorsey trio rocked the house. Ken Dorsey on tenor sax. Larry Tamanini on jazz guitar
