A couple of weeks ago, I was a co-host for an instameet called The Philly Props Meet. James Kwak (aka @kwakamoli), came up with this idea where all the instameet participants could bring any props in order to shoot interesting pictures. Prop ideas included masks, frames, mirrors, costumes, umbrellas etc. All were welcomed through social media and met up at the Schuykill Street Boardwalk and walked through University City.

A lot of people came out for the event and it was nice to catch up with some old friends and meet new ones. My contribution for the meet (I was a co-host after all haha), I wore a Venetian mask that my aunt conveniently got for me the week before from her travels in Italy. The following pictures are my favorite ones that some of the photographers snapped of myself and my outfit.
