Summary:

Beautiful, black and white photographs by Jerome Lukowicz that provide an uncommon appraisal of the city of Philadelphia. The photographs present the city through singular views, common vistas, and vantage points that any resident or visitor would have, as they walk the streets of the city. Short texts and stories, written by Sean O'Rourke, that speak to Jerome's photographs and the experience of living in Philadelphia. The combination of photographs and stories 'shows' the physical character of the city, and 'tells' the experience of living in the city, that speaks to its architecture, urbanity and its authentic place. The same exact book is carefully packed in a lid and bottom box, offering three different cover photographs.
