Gentlemen's Agreement

Hard to believe that a mere handshake kept the skyline of Philadelphia below the top of the statue of William Penn (at 27 tons, the largest statue upon any building in the world) for nearly 90 years. Pretty impressive, both the statue and the handshake, try doing business like that these days.

The bicycle locked-up on the sidewalk shot

Cliche? Maybe, but hardly as offensive as a sunset picture. I mean, sunset photos are meant to be pretty, but they are not very revealing about our way of life except of course, well... that the sun does set. A bicycle locked-up on the sidewalk can be pretty, dirty, and enlightening. A glimpse into the city and it's dwellers, the architecture and the mind-set. So feel free to unlock the bicycle, experience the city, and then ride off into the sunset, but please don't take a picture of it.
