Painting Billy Penn

By Jim MacMillan

A painter works from a footbridge near the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1998. A statue of William Penn stands atop Philadelphia City Hall, seen at left, but a lot of Philadelphians find this perspective unfortunate because the scroll in Penn’s hand at his side can appear to be something else.

From 1984 through 2006, I worked as a full-time newspaper and wire service photojournalist, primarily in Boston and Philadelphia. Since then, I have focused my efforts more broadly across independent social media journalism, journalism education, and the study of trauma journalism, multimedia reporting, and the development of sustainable economic models for the future of journalism. Most of the photos from Philadelphia were taken while working for the Philadelphia Daily News. Photos from Iraq were taken while working for the Associated Press.
