[Leica] Nathan's PAD 19/8/2015: South Philly art

[Nathan Wajsman]

The other day I went back to South Philly with my daughter to visit a jewellery/piercing shop on South 6th Street and to have lunch at the Blackbird vegan restaurant which is a truly great place to eat.

While I was waiting for Monica, I walked around the neighbourhood a bit. A small alley called Kater Street caught my eye because of the wall paintings and mosaics:

This is actually someone’s backyard:

At a certain point this guy emerged from his house and we had a little chat. He told me that most of the mosaics were made by his father, and he agreed to pose for me in front of one of them:

A most pleasant encounter in what is becoming one of my favourite urban neighbourhoods in the US.

Cheers,
Nathan
