  • Ed Hille's waterfront photo journal

    Ed Hille is a Philadelphia based photojournalist and staff photographer for The Philadelphia Inquirer. Hille has produced award winning photographs in our region and crisscrossed America and the globe, completing assignments on five continents, and covering a spectrum of news, feature and sporting events. Major political conventions, two World Series, and the Winter Olympics have been some of the highlights. Hille documented insurrections in El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Sudan and Liberia, the struggle for independence in Namibia, the first free elections in Haiti, and the lifting of the iron curtain in Romania. He photographed Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton; Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, Margaret Thatcher, the Dali Lama and Pope John Paul II.
    Hille is the recipient of numerous awards including honors from the Philadelphia and Dallas Press Clubs, The National Headliners Association, World Press, The Texas Headliners Association, The Society For Professional Journalists (SDX) and The National Football League. In 1995 Hille was awarded the Richard Burke Fellowship by the Philadelphia Inquirer and subsequently attended Swarthmore College as a visiting fellow. Hille was also nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

    Ed Hille resides in Moylan, Pennsylvania, with his wife Kathi and daughter Alexandra.

    Genevieve Patricia Holmes' river views

    Pat Holmes has been an active painter since retiring in 1981. After graduating from the Philadelphia Museum of Industrial Art (now known as The University of the Arts), she went to work as a draftswoman for Bell Telephone. Holmes and her whole department went to work for the Navy in 1942, working on battleship plans such as fire control systems, including the blueprints for the battleship New Jersey. Holmes recommends Penn's Landing as a fine spot for landscape painting.
