   Nice shots! I like the juxtaposition of new and old architecture with the Cira Center and 30th Street station.

   I like the photo taken of the Amtrak station and the ivy of course. The Tree and Lights looked very eerie at first but after looking at it for a while I got use to it, although it still stands out.

   Salaams and thanks to all. I’m slowly gaining more respect for my lowly 1.3 megapixel camera phone. It’s almost like a Holga (although, a plastic Holga costs $20 and my camera phone’s like $300+!). I agree that the Trees and Lights looks spooky - I thought so too at first. I did an initial shot with some camera shake to make it blur but prefered the latter.

   You actually shook the camera while taking the picture? That is very interesting. I’m guess this can only be done on certain cameras? And this shaking would create a blur effect. I really have to start being more innovative with the camera.

   There’s a fine line between, “I shook the camera on accident and the image just looks clumsy” and “I shook the camera for artistic intent“. Or at least that’s what I think.

   Salaams,

   Thanks for the information. I think it is really amazing what can be done with a camera.

   Wa Salaam
