From its humble beginnings as a strip of wilderness just west of William Penn�s �greene country towne;� Powelton Village has seen a rise in both prestige and activism since its inception in the late 17th century. An aristocratic estate at its founding; Powelton has found itself in a state of constant evolution; from the summer retreat of George Washington to the home of Pennsylvania�s agricultural fair and from the playground of the elite to a hotbed of activism. In spite of; or because of; its mixed history; Powelton Village is unique among Philadelphia neighborhoods; both in its eclectic diversity and in its historic roots to the founding of the nation. Today; Powelton serves as a home to academics and their students; to the urban poor of Philadelphia; and to the elites of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University.

Excellent follow-up to Photographing MenBy DanielI bought this as soon as it was available as I have met Jeff and own his other book Photographing Men which is also great. The information in here seems obvious but serves as a reminder of what to do and how to interact. Solid read and excellent addition to my ever growing catalog of informational books.
