Fleetwood Mac Under the Museum Lights


The original "light-painted" image (shown at the end of this post) was taken on May 2, 2016, in front of the steps where the iconic Rocky statue is shown standing on the Philadelphia Museum of Art. 

To create or edit some of my photos, sometimes I use music. Music helps me relax and inspires my editing process. For this AI cartoon selfie, I listened to one of my favorite rock bands, Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac.

And Yes, The Ice Cream Was Delicious


The forecast for Philadelphia includes a wet weekend, with showers and steady rain continuing into Monday. Yesterday, before the rain arrived, I decided to head on over to one of my favorite spots, the Schuylkill River near Boathouse Row.

This is a historic and scenic area in Philadelphia known for its row of 15 Victorian boathouses, which house rowing clubs and are a popular spot for rowing, walking, and viewing the illuminated lights at night.

I was hoping to capture a few behind-the-scene images of my GoPro Hero on a Platypod eXtreme. Surprisingly, maybe because of the weather conditions, the area was empty. Faster than the blink of an eye, I took all the pictures I needed, just in time before the rain arrived.

Before heading home, and to celebrate the successful photo walk, I purchased a "Swirl" from the ice cream truck parked in front of the Philadelphia Art Museum. A "swirl" is a combination of vanilla and chocolate ice cream in a cone. And yes, the ice cream was delicious.
