One of Boston's Finest


Edward is a member of the Boston Emergency Medical Services (EMS). I met him while he was on duty at the Scooper Bowl fundraiser for the Jimmy Fund on Thursday. While his pose here is serious as befits his calling, I found him to be easy going and quick to laugh, great assets for an Emergency Medical Technician.

    He looks so reassuring. I think if he appeared during an emergency I would feel safer. But why was his fist clenched?

    He wants to look severe, but I can see the little smile on the corner of his lips...Ü
    He looks strong and secure, a good thing for his job.
    You made another great portrait.
    (And I like very much the buildings behind!There are really "bostonian" to me , and offer a good frame to your picture)
