These were taken outside the former 611 Records, on fourth street just below South. The originals are nothing much, because I took them with a cell phone, but they work nicely at this size.

Over two days in 2006 I walked the length of Philadelphia, camera in hand, visiting every block of Delhi Street... whether it actually existed or not.

The second installment of Mighty Delhi is up on citiesinpixiedust. If you missed the first installment, you can find the South Philly chapter of Mighty Delhi here.

Edit: fixed the permissions. No longer double secret! You can actually see the slideshow now.

PATCO sounds the alarm for civil liberties.

This kills me for some reason.

The front door of the Vagabond Boutique, where we saw Rick Banister's excellent show "My Documents" last night. The man has painstakingly hand-drawn copies of his social security card, high school diploma, birth certificate... I especially like the fact that the birth certificate forbids you to copy it by "photostat" but says nothing about pencil.

One of Rick's fellow conspirators drew copies of her CVS and liquor store receipts, right down to the blocky pixels of the cheap receipt printer, which I also greatly enjoyed.

I've recently become a contributor to Cities in Pixie Dust, a blog of urban photography. Graffiti paintings of classic video game cabinets, Michael Jackson's first meeting with Bubbles on the Roosevelt Island tram, the Blessed Mother on the move... and yes, the cityspanning 50-lane ultrabahn of the soul that is Delhi Street. It's all here babe. Come check out our mad snappage!

I used to live on Delhi Street in Philadelphia. Delhi appears and disappears as you walk through the city, with a handful of blocks scattered throughout.

In April '06, I spent two days walking the length of Philadelphia, snapping a picture of every block of Delhi Street... whether it was actually there or not.

Sometimes it's a street, sometime's it's an alley... sometims it's a state of mind.

Our journey begins in the alleyways of South Philadelphia, and will soon continue through the rest of the city.

View Mighty Delhi: South Philly on Flickr. For best results watch the slideshow. It's really more of a film... with a very low frame rate... than a photoset.

I wish I'd had a proper camera on me, but you've got what you've got. Note failed supermarket in background.
