PrologueThis is a short memoir of places that have left an impression on me, documented through the shadows and reflections at that moment, at that place. Most of the photographs were taken in Philadelphia, with a few exceptions. I hope everyone who picks this book up will take the time to notice what shadows and reflections follow them everyday, and not take their momentary, dream-like shapes for granted.
