Tinicum Township is located in Deleware County, Pennsylvania, a stones throw away from the Philadelphia International Airport. The airport, through loopholes and legislation has found a way to demolish around eighty Tinicum homes to expand their runways, saving commuters about 15 minutes delay.
Today I tagged along with a documentary film crew and took pictures from a parade they've thrown in protest of the project. I can honestly say that after spending the day in this small town I not only support their cause, but genuinely feel the pride and outrage of a Tinicum citizen. The people are great and care about their community in a way I believed had vanished in an era long ago.
Throughout the week I'll be painting a portrait of the town and its residents, leaders, and the documentary film crew. Hope you guys enjoy!
