We almost never put captions on our photos. But this one demands that we do. It was taken in the former Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. Once home to Al Capone, it now hosts visitors in a largely wheelchair-accessible setting. It also hosts art students and displays art in former cells. The observant woman in the photo was concentrating on her art when we took her portrait from afar. Thanks to a great Nikon telephoto lens and some cropping, we have this beautiful image without disturbing her while she focused on creative pursuits. We are proud to live in a nation of diversity.
We posted almost daily back then.
Not quite six years later, we have had 100,000 unique visitors to the site.
The total number of visitors is nearly double that number.
They have read serious stories about disability rights.
They have seen whimsical photos of Miami, Latin America and Europe.
They have gleaned over 1,200 posts.
They have read enough words to fill three books.
We thank you.
We promise to keep writing about Urban Travel, Sustainability and Accessibility.
