The Italian Market in South Philadelphia has to be one of the most colorful areas in the city. Colorful enough to film a few Rocky segments.

An open air market of stalls selling fruit, vegetables, live poultry, seafood and clothing, combined with indoor shops of cheese, meats, spices and of course restaurants defines the Italian Market. Although some of the Italian flavor now has Latino and Asian overtones, it remains just as colorful. When you add in the odors and genuine characters that work there, the sum is what makes the Italian Market a wondrous place to visit and photograph.
The images in this post (except for Rocky) were captured at the market last Monday. Monday is the only day of the week when most of the shops are closed. None the less, there were several opportunities for photographs.
Come on down and join us in South Philly for what will be a memorable photo safari. Contact:dativersafari@gmail.com
