African American Museum in Philadelphia





photos by Eisterhold

Here are some images from a project that Kevin and I just finished with a local design firm, Eisterhold and Associates. We animated projected images that overlay cutout images of the important figures in African American History. There are six sections narrating the history of culture, work, law, politics, religion, and family for these early Philadelphians. This wall of images is 60 feet long. It's huge!

I GOT PRINTED!!!!

The wetlands crept up to the edge of homes. A house in this photo is sinking in the swamp.

About 58 False Killer Whales beached themselves on Long Beach about 10 minutes from where the team was staying. A van took about 22 of our team to the site where they hit the ground running toward the water to help the whales. Everyone was baffled as to how these creatures ended up here and why they kept swimming back to shore after they were put out to water.
Witnessing this was completely unreal. It was so sad watching the scared and worn out whales struggling. About 15 were saved.

Red Hill, a township which was largely destroyed in a fire last year. The rebuild opened doors for the All Nations team to come in and help rebuild. Now there homes are further apart, allowing room for personal gardens.
