The City of Brotherly Love- 4th of July Style!

So I've noticed that it is very very hard to choose from nearly 1000 pictures and only put a few up here! I took so many pictures of Philly and it would just take way too long to go through and edit all of them--plus, nobody really wants to see all 600 of my "artistic"shots (which are usually very unartistic and accidentally blurry).

Ok, so call me crazy, but since I've started taking photography more seriously, I've fallen in love with taking shots of random walls and doors...yeah, I know-wierd. Poor Tom had to listen to me say "That wall is AWESOME!" about 5 million times during the weekend. Some walls just have so much character to them! (Don't judge me!)

So I might've been a little creepy following people around in their parade costumes. Whatever- it was totally worth it.

I camped out next to this vintage firetruck so I could get some cool pics of the parade.

The colors in the picture below were not changed at all. The picture isn't that great because we were rushing to get to the concert and there were a ton of people there. I actually lost the rest of the group I was with when I was taking pictures...thank goodness for cell phones!

And what would a 4th of July be without some awesome fireworks?
