Philadelphia Then: The 1960s and 70s

A class with Sol Mednick

 I took these pictures when I was a student in Sol Mednick's view camera class at The Philadelphia College of Art.  The class was held in the Photography Studio, which was located at that time along with all the darkroom facilities, in the Frank Furness carriage house.  They were taken on October 1, 1969
