Join us for an inspirational evening with artist/photographer Frank H. Jump.
Jump was given a few years to live in 1986, after being diagnosed with HIV. After enrolling in a Bachelors Degree Program in 1996, Jump started taking pictures of “fading ads” as a metaphor to his own survival. Through art, perseverance and hope, he continued to thrive and inspire others through his photography.
Jump became known in 1998 with an exhibition of his work at The N-Y Historical Society, and was featured on the cover of the New York Times Metro section in July 1998.
Jump has since entered the NYC Teaching Fellows Program and received his Masters of Science in Education at Brooklyn College in 2003. Recently, Jump received a second Masters of Science in Instructional Technology.
GIFTS: An LGBT Fellowship is a gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered community at Marble Collegiate Church that seeks to reconcile spirituality and sexuality through God’s love. By celebrating the common threads between our lives and faith journeys, we embrace our spiritual inheritance. We welcome all who wish to grow and be energized through Christian fellowship and service.

Found this great site through Lawrence O’Tooles Philadelphia Sign Project – Villatype – that features urban typefaces worldwide. Saw Ideal Hosiery on this site and rummaged through my voluminous digital archive and found my shots of it.
