I woke up early Monday morning to watch the live coverage until I could get downtown, and as soon as I made it to Boston I headed straight for the highlight of the race: the finish line! The crowds were astounding, I’ve never experienced gridlock on a sidewalk before, but the cheering and enthusiasm gave a sense of being at a huge party. I brought along a …

Boston City Lights

Jan 20, 2013

Every Thursday I ride the T from North Station in downtown Boston, to Porter Square. The red line that takes me there pulls above ground as it crosses Longfellow bridge, and opens up this gorgeous view of the city. And every Thursday, I think to myself “I have to shoot that!” So finally, I did. I wanted to give you and idea of the impressiveness of the skyline, but I’ll get to that in a bit. First, the red line crossing the Longfellow bridge: And finally, without further adieu, the beautiful city I see through the tiny MBTA window every weekday:

Jan 5, 2013

New Year’s eve in Boston brought on an evening of horns, drums, hot chocolate, mittens, and people flooding the streets for First Night. First Night is the city’s annual celebration which features an ice sculptuing contest, a parade, and concludes with an amazing firework show over the Boston Common.

[Part 1] Leaf Peeping: A Profile of Leaves

Oct 29, 2012

A lot of people back home have been telling me how much they miss the changing of the leaves during the fall (Phoenix isn’t exactly known for that). So I decided to series of posts on the autumn colors. I realized very quickly that it’s a daunting task to capture something as magnificent as the changing of a season on camera, so each post in this series is going to focus on a different experience of fall. I’ll start with the smallest elements and zoom out (a la Carl Sagan’s Cosmos). So, what could be better to begin with than …
