Three Years Ago Today: December 30, 2010<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was visiting Philadelphia for the holiday season. I\u2019d just got my Lumix back from Panasonic following a warranty-repair and I was happy to make some photos with it.<\/p>\n

A wander around Center City on December 30, 2010 with my family made for ample opportunities to exercise the shutter. Sometimes the ordinary scenes make for interesting photos, and over time these tend to age well; witness below.<\/p>\n

\"Panasonic\u2019s<\/a>
Panasonic\u2019s Lumix LX series cameras are idea for making urban images. Compact size, ease of use, plus a very sharp lens and the ability to shoot RAW files, gives benefits of both snapshot and professional quality cameras. I\u2019ve enlarged my LUMIX LX3 images to 16×20 inches with excellent results and routinely included LX3 photos in books and articles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This view was exposed on the platforms of SEPTA\u2019s Market East station (the 1980s replacement for Philadelphia & Reading\u2019s Victorian train-temple, Reading Terminal\u2014today a convention center, sans tracks).<\/p>\n

Here I found a pair of 1960s vintage Silverliners working the R3 service. These elegant classics were nearing the end of their working careers. After nearly five decades, the last of these machines were withdrawn in June 2012.<\/p>\n
