Boston the Photogenic

As I mentioned, today was Becky’s last day of work. Hooray! I drove her in to the city, then took off on my own for a day of photographing Boston.

I ended up with one hundred and forty-four keepers for the day. You can look at all of them if you want to, but I’ll highlight some of my favorites below.

• Closed-gate view of the State House
• Sleeping on a bench in the Common
• Lemonade cart worker in the break room
• Plethora of Port-a-Potties
• Sidewalk Sam supervises the painting of a shark at an entrance to the Common
• A nap on the grass
• Many beautifully colored flora
• Can you take a photo of us?
• Hail to the flag
• The proposed location for the Back Bay Apple Store, currently facing objections from the Back Bay Architectural Association. Right across from the Prudential Center, it would be an excellent location.
• If that one doesn’t pan out, there are rumors that Apple could take over the space being vacated by the Virgin Megastore, which I also photographed today.
• I walked across the Mass Ave bridge, against the flow of walkers from the Walk For Hunger.
• The skyscrapers of the Back Bay were looking particularly photogenic from across the Charles River.
• I love this photo of a sailboat and the John Hancock building.
• More sailbots up on the dock.
• A pair of differing dories.
• Memorial Drive sweeps around the bend, with the Back Bay in the distance.
• The new Charles/MGH T stop is starting to take shape.
• Samuel Adams - patriot, statesman, governor… brewer?. Do you prefer him with the brick red background, or the sky blue background?

And the day wouldn’t be complete without a shot of Becky at the reception desk at her last day of work.

I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!
