Hi Boston Photo Bloggers. Enjoying your blogs today from chilly St. Paul, MN. I'm a painter looking for some source photos - I wondered if any of you had the time or inclination to help me. I paint mostly signs and buildings, mostly stuff from the 70's and 80's. (I'm originally from New Bedford, MA by the way). Last time I was out east we went up to Kittery ME and I saw some things on Route 1 that caught my eye that I thought would make great paintings. Due to the circumstances (infant in car, weather) we could not stop to get some photos to paint from. I am specifically looking for pics of the Showplace Cinema (Revere) Sign and the Hilltop Steakhouse in Saugus. They don't need to be arty - I just need more information to make a painting from. I did try a google image search and got some hits but still need just a bit more. I could trade you a small piece of art for your troubles. I'm currently working on a painting of the Braintree Logan Shuttle sign. You can see my artwork at www.cjsstudio.com. Anyway, thanks for your photos and your Blogs. It's nice to keep connected with MA.

Looks nice there. My mother lived in Weymouth for a long time, but I never got to spend a lot of time exploring the area.

I like this photo a lot. Nice curving line draws you right into the image.
