		<title>Rectangular to Polar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s something different. Remember Math 101? Take your panorama, convert from rectangular to polar coordinates, and you got yourself a little sphere world. Above: Philadelphia Museum of Art]]></description>

		<title>FEASTival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I photographed the FEASTival, as part of the live arts Fringe festival this year. It invites the big shots of Philadelphia&#8217;s restaurant scene to set up tables. I got to meet Stephen Starr, Jose Garces, Michael Solomonov etc. Mayor Nutter and Ed Rendell were also present for me to snap some shots of. Besides all [...]]]></description>

		<title>one second film, two hour photo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a concept that has been in my head for a long time and I&#8217;ve finally managed to try it out. To capture the full sunset multiple images were composited together to form this photo. Some parts of this image show clouds during daylight, while other parts show high-rises late in the night. No [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cookie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A cookie in photography is short for cookaloris. It&#8217;s a technique where you shoot your flash through something with holes so the light that goes through creates a textured shadow. For example you can aim your light source at a piece of plywood, that has a bunch of random cut holes like this. Instead of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Warehouse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s fun to shoot in old warehouses. You can walk around and discover cool little spots to photograph everywhere. We&#8217;re in front of an old freight elevator here which I thought would make a great backdrop. I like the way the light falls on Amber&#8217;s hair. A little more than just a rim light, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Robot Etudes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This blog usually functions as a journal for my photography endeavors, but I&#8217;m quite excited about this next project and figured it&#8217;s somewhat related that I decided to throw it in. For the past three months architects and engineers students at the University of Pennsylvania have been working together on building mechatronic devices (think robots) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Private Show</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photographers always get front row seats. Or we get to hang out backstage with the band. But what&#8217;s best is that sometime we get hired and get our own private show. Above: Timaree Schmit]]></description>
