I often play the role of street photographer so I walked behind them for a block. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>If I were not a curious journalist I would\u2019ve moved on, but  I said hello and introduced myself as we walked together. Lynnette Lucas was taking her granddaughter Faith Green, 6, for a special lunch after her kindergarten graduation at Mastery Charter School. Lucas takes all her grandchildren to the Chili\u2019s near the Convention Center for celebratory meals where the staff treats them well, especially server Tevin Jones. Faith was headed to a party with the rest of her family, with cake and ice cream later in the day. I switched from street photographer back to visual journalist and headed to my next assignment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>There are different definitions for street photography, but I always like what William Eggleston said: \u201cOften people ask what I\u2019m photographing, which is a hard question to answer. And the best what I\u2019ve come up with is I just say: life today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Which brings me to my good friend and Inquirer photo colleague Alejandro A. Alvarez. Starting today Philadelphia will wake up differently. For decades, before the coffee shops unlocked their doors and the metal roll-up shutters were opened on newsstands Alex was already there. A street photographer who chases the morning light, Alex retired from the newspaper yesterday, almost exactly 38 years \u2014 Monday, June 13, 1988 \u2014 after he first stepped into a newsroom as a full-time newspaper staff photographer, at the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader<i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=935\">Former Philly SWAT officer who pepper sprayed protesters on I-676 will serve one year of probation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>That is not to say he won\u2019t still be there with his camera, waiting for the sun to rise and bathe the sidewalks and neighborhoods with the day\u2019s first warm light. He describes himself as a \u201cprofessional wanderer about town, documenting the people and places I see.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>And I will probably see a lot more of him now as he will have more time for the street photography he most enjoys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Readers \u2014 and his editors \u2014 will miss his breaking news coverage, as he will no longer be checking the news websites, apps, and tips from sources before heading out pre-dawn to visually report on the aftermath of overnight shootings, fires, or accidents. He usually filed his news photos before the reporters even turned on their computers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The way he sees the city however, will endure and readers will still see his work, whenever Inquirer.com or the Inquirer or Daily News needs a photo to illustrate a story about SEPTA, or pedestrians and city workers, bikers and joggers and dog walkers \u2014 in all kinds of weather, they will tap into the admirable archive of his images in our digital library.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>At The Inquirer, Alex photographed protests and elections; changes in the seasons and weather; parades, celebrations and memorial; kings and criminals.
