More choice shots from Philly Photo Day. See the first set of photos HERE. Event organizer Philadelphia Photo Arts Center (PPAC) received a staggering 900 submissions, triple last year’s total. Every photo will be printed and displayed at the Crane Arts Building, 1400 N. American Street. The opening reception will be this Thursday, Nov. 10th from 6-9 PM. Buy a print of any photo for $25–it’s a heck of a deal and supports a great cause in PPAC.
