Margael - Rittenhouse Square

Summer seems to have come early to Philadelphia. This afternoon I followed the hordes of urban sun worshippers to Rittenhouse Square. It paid off. Hundreds of people were lounging in the park, soaking up rays in their boldest and brightest colors. I liked Margael's breezy southern belle look. Today, I stopped looking for photographic subjects of a specific "type." I stopped looking for hipsters and scenesters, artsy '80s throwbacks, and retro-menswear revivalists. Instead, I followed Scott Schuman The Sartorialist's advice in this inspiring short documentary, and just let visually striking scenes present themselves to me. I think Margael on the park bench fits that description.
