Visitor inside the New England Holocaust Museum, located on Congress Street near Faneuil Hall. Enlarge the image to see more clearly the numbers etched on the glass. These numbers represent the registration numbers of the six million victims of the six major nazi death camps. Other images of the memorial.

Portraits


These two portraits were taken Saturday evening while I was on the World Wide Photo Walk in Boston. Though both are portraits, they are different in style and subject. The humorous portrait of the group of men above is very expressive and captures their individual sense of style. They requested I take their photo as they wanted to document their night on the town. I heard they were pleased with the results, but didn't want me to use their names.

The portrait of the two young women below shows their poise and a little bit of a sense of adventure as they were spending the weekend in Boston from their native New York. They asked me to take a picture with their camera, so I asked to take theirs but failed to ask their names; if they see their picture I hope they like it.

Bicycle Tours


A great way to tour a city, though with all the traffic on the streets of Boston, I wouldn't be too quick to get in one of those things. Traffic is so bad and drivers so regularly scoff at red lights, stop signs, and pedestrians, my rule of thumb in Boston is to always look both ways when crossing, even on a one way street.

To what shall I compare this life of ours?
Even before I can say it is like a lightning flash or a dewdrop,
it is no more. -Gibon Sengai (1750-1837)
