I just saw him to pick up my photo and I don't think he has the time anyway. People were calling and emailing him like crazy about photographs.

PS you can still see his photos on his site and flickr

I always thought your photos were beautiful, and I really liked the surrealistic night photos. I know I did post at least once about how really amazing they were.

I will be sad to see you go. Thank you to the above poster for adding his site url.


Good luck with your career, mpennsky!

And when some of these ignorant bastards throw in an insult, they are like that elevated wasted dude at a freind's wedding...such a shame they look like an ass.

Obviously none of my perceptions are true, but I think thats the fun of these places. What, you go to the Starbucks at 3rd and Arch??!?!? Get a life, you anti-neighborhood corporate pawn!!! What, you are a member of the neighborhood dog owner/walker clique?? You're my best friend!!!

Anyone that takes bloggers or posters too serious, needs to make an adjustment. We all probably passed each other on the street 4 times in the last week; I wouldn't hold a grudge on anyone on a stupid message board.

Unless you were a Dallas fan. Then you might get jacked up in front of the Ducks and get a kazoo in the ear.
Hear hear Birdsfan! Phillyblog is no glamour detail-and its not for the faint of heart. Thin-skinned people should not apply.
But I think its important to keep a sense of humor when posting here, and not take some of the knuckleheads too seriously.
