These photos are some of the most recent I’ve taken. I feel like I’m finally learning how to frame a shot rather than having to crop the photos later. I like how these turned out.

Julia studies printmaking at University of the Arts, works at Anthropologie, and interns at The Center For Emerging Visual Artists. For as busy as she is, she struck me as totally cool, calm, and collected.

Julia told me that she gets a good employee discount at Anthropologie, so she gets a lot of her clothes there these days. That’s where she found this amazing belt. We briefly discussed whether it’s a wolf or a fox, but ultimately we couldn’t decide what type of woodland creature it is. It’s adorable regardless. Her jacket is from Target, and her skirt is from Urban Outfitters. I love the juxtaposition of her badass jacket and boots with her lacy feminine skirt.

Jillian was another near-miss on the 18th and Walnut corner. Across from Rittenhouse Park and near the shops on and around Walnut Street, this is an easy place to people watch.

I’ve found that people who catch my eye on this corner sometimes disappear into Anthropologie. I may wait a few minutes to see if they emerge. Often, they do not. Either this means the well-dressed of Center City know a secret exit from the store, or they disappear into Anthro for hours. I’m guessing the latter. When I first spotted Jillian, I lost her into that beautiful abyss but I was still in the same spot when she emerged. It was meant to be.

Her bright scarf caught my attention. She laughed and seemed surprised when I complimented it, adding, “It’s just from Target!”

Jillian, a Philly native who now lives in Kentucky, spends her time raising her two year old, working, knitting sweaters, and blogging for a real estate company. If she had to wear one thing for a week, it would be a knit dress with tights and boots. A quality choice.
