There's no article to tell you about, just one of my pictures which ran in the Center City Weekly Press. The ones to the right were not used. To see the one that made my cut, click here and turn to page 2.
Philly got hit with an actual snowstorm this past weekend--the first real one since I've lived here and I wanted to try to capture a rare, snow-covered holiday season in the City of Brotherly Love.
The picture has received lots of positive feedback including the following comment from Philadelphia Inquirer Staff Photographer Tom Gralish:
"Great Santa shot Kerry! You certainty captured the feel of rowhouse life. Usually you only see Santa photos of him in malls, in front of fireplace or on the roof of a suburban tract home."
That's what I was going for. Growing up in Boston, this is what Christmas was. Snow piled up along the sidewalk. a string of Christmas lights wrapped around a railing or dangling in front of a house...and Santa making his way down a mixture of slush, and salt and asphalt.

And here in Philly, in rowhome life, it's the same. Christmas in the city is like nowhere else...
...and I love it.
