i am a designer. or, at least, soon will be. i suppose it's fairly similar to calling oneself an artist or musician... but, more on that later. what i mean to say is that i'm in school right now, but my eyes have already geared themselves to design, art, architecture, aesthetics, and the like.
here you'll find a random grab bag of pictures, thoughts, and observations about those subjects, specifically, in and around philadelphia.
why just philly?
my plan once was to get my degree, move far away, and in an incredibly short amount of time, amass obscene amounts of money (along with the requisite notoriety, fanbase, etc).
instead, i've decided to stay here. the national geographic endorsement and the new york time's "6th borough" article notwithstanding, i've been in philadelphia long enough to see some major changes occur: new skyscrapers, better neighborhoods, rising property values, building renovations, new businesses, fresh new people, new feel, the list goes on and on... so, it's worth hanging around to see what happens. what's more, i love this city, and i'd like very much to be a part of its future.
of course, i still expect the fame and fortune. ;)
enjoy the show

Can't wait to see some of your designs......rock on!

I think the first thing is to stop saying you "soon will be" a designer. If you are a designer, you are a designer. A degree or certification doesn't make you a designer, it just makes it legal for you to actually build things that may affect public health, safety, and welfare.
Tha page looks nice - I look forward to reading some stuff...and putting in my two cents' worth without being asked.
