Day 2 of the conference kicked off with sunshine. For that I am grateful as my camera and raindrops do not get along. It was scary driving on the city streets that looked like a stream. My car is small and I was concerned the rushing water could sweep me off the street.
Here are photo highlights from day 2.
The highlights of the day for me were meeting George Anastasia and winning first place in Nonfiction for “The Prison Visit” A version of that essay can be read here. http://wp.me/p1j2Ur-18a
I love visiting Philly and can’t wait to go back! ~P.

- Love Cuffs wouldn’t let me take a picture with his face in it. I settled for a distant shot of his back through the bars. I had a feeling he was familiar with bars and handcuffs.
