I work a morning shift...so I don't shoot a lot of sporting events. Every once in a while, I get an assignment to shoot somebody practicing. Today it was Temple University spring football.

If three days of record rainfall and a week of temperatures in the 60's and 70's couldn't do it, I really didn't expect a change of seasons to wipe out the remaining parking lot snow piles. And the Vernal Equinox didn't.
Not only are the region's largest parking lot snow piles - those at the PATCO lots, near Penn Presbyterian Hospital and at the Navy Yard - still around, on Sunday I found one of Center City's small ones still hanging in there on the first full day of spring. This pile is in a small, half block wide lot right across from the Reading Terminal Market.

It's still around. This snow pile - shot twice, about 3 hours apart - is in parking lot in Cherry Hill.

New Jersey Network cameras were there broadcasting live, as Governor Chris Christie proposed converting the state's TV and radio station to a non-profit organization without a state subsidy.

I just looked at the coolest panoramic project I've seen in a long time: Paris 26 Gigapixels is the world's largest panoramic image, stitched together from 2346 individual photos.

The newspaper presented awards to 122 high school seniors in a ceremony at the National Constitution Center Thursday, honoring them as recipients of the fourth annual Inquirer Student Citizenship Award.
Former colleague, now freelance photographer Robert O. Williams shot the group photo, as well as each of the individual honorees as they received their award. That allowed me to wander around watching the parents and checking out the scene "backstage." Click here, on the photo of students in line behind Delaware's John Dickinson in Constitution Signers' Hall, for a gallery of those images.

Just a few years ago Arcadia University was the butt of jokes by Howard Stern, David Letterman, Conan O’Brien and Saturday Night Live. I thought about that yesterday as President Obama rallied in the college gym there kicking off a last-ditch effort to push his health-care reform.
