Here’s another Photo Elective shot by Tina Garceau. As I’ve said before, all sophomore students majoring in illustration at The Philadelphia College of Art were required to take a minor course in photography where the students would take and process black and white, 35mm images. I lived in South Jersey and commuted to school, while Tina lived in and shot her photographs around the school’s downtown Philadelphia campus. She made a number of exposures from these corners at 15th and Locust back in 1981. The area remains largely the same although the businesses have changed hands several times over the decades. The sense of style has changed quite a bit. This is back when center city Philadelphia was a jacket and tie kind of town.

When business people actually LOOKED like business people!
The term “Philadelphia Lawyer” comes to mind.
Funny, but I was talking to a friend who was in the hospital recently about hospital personnel. Everybody wears scrubs. You can’t tell a nurse from a brain surgeon from a janitor. Every day is casual Friday.
I remember when I was a kid s philly that you felt u had to dress up if u went there.
Thanks, Dottie!
