Alex Richman was in Philadelphia for Independence Day, and took in a baseball game at the beautiful Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies. What a perfect way to spend the day, because I love baseball. And what a great city to be in when the Fourth of July rolls around! Here are some of [...]

I found a recurring theme in the photos that Sidewalk Photographer Alex Richman sent to me this week.
