chinatown after hours

this project captures philadelphia's chinatown in a unique way: through reflections and color. i want to showcase that even through an obscured lens, chinatown is the city’s most vibrant neighborhood as seen through its neon lighting. in its quietest moments, one can feel a sense of warmth there since it never goes dark or lifeless. this project is especially important to me in the wake of the “save chinatown” movement. this neighborhood deserves to be celebrated, and my photos demonstrate its one of a kind, irreplaceable aesthetics found on every corner.
