Ziana (daugther) and Nayla (mother) are originally from Lebanon. Nayla hated the cold weather and the crime, while Ziana was not too positive about the Philadelphians. "They are too rude and agressive," she said. She did like the fact that the city is very cosmopolitan though. Mother Nayla liked the numerous restaurants.

William was my first portrait of the day. He was leaning against a pole, taking a break from his job as a PMA shuttle driver. As a born and raised Philadelphian, William was proud of Philadelphia's history and the numerous museums in the city. He was not too happy with certain neighborhoods however, and referred to them as extremely dangerous.
