let me show you sumsing… portfoliol’estrangeflickr gmailgoogle+ bookfacelast.fmSYNOPSIS: This tumblr is a curatorial outlet. I am a Philadelphia-based fine art photographer who happens to work in a photography gallery. You’d think I’d get sick of it, but instead I spend countless hours of my free time looking at portfolios and curating this. Check out the archive, it’s totally neat. Also, be sure to check out my other tumblr l-estrange for a more stream-of-conciousness styled tumblr. var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
