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.

Baseball


While the rest of the world is watching the World Cup, we in the States are (mostly) watching baseball. An excited fan at last night's Pawtucket Red Sox game, which they lost 1-0 to the Syracuse Chiefs.

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.

Old South Meeting House


Looking down Washington St. to the Old South Meeting House.
Built in 1729, Old South was the largest building in colonial
Boston and provided a stage for the American Revolution.
