above the clouds

The sun sets on a great weekend with my friends and soon-to-be family. Thanks for coming, y'all.

woke up this morning

I couldn't help but hear the Sopranos' theme song play in my head when I saw these two anonymous paisanos talking shop on the corner in the North End.

ye olde north church

"All this history around you, and you're taking a photo of a car windshield."
Indeed.

others' eyes

As we walked along, Eric stopped on a street corner as we ambled on. He asked me to take this shot. He was particularly taken by the difference in architectural styles from this one vantage point. I do believe I'll have to print and frame it for him. Good eye!

finding the freedom trail

As we hunted for the Freedom Trail in Boston, I held my breath for this shot. Patience is a virtue, especially in photography.

tailfins

Lee's eye caught the old Cadillac. My camera disappointed me on the details. This one came out exactly as planned.

the main reason

The main reason we went to Boston for the bachelor party was to take in a ballgame at Fenway. Neither the fans nor the Sox disappointed, with the latter serving up a nail biter of a 1-0 win. I think beer and baseball should be an annual or so event for the guys. Who's with me?

reflections to fenway

As we were trucking it from Ruggles to Fenway, we crossed a bridge over this lake or river. I snapped a quick shot, expecting nothing to come of it. Hey, when inspiration strikes, sometimes you strike gold. For what was initially a quick snapshot, this one turned out pretty well, no?

street musicians

Unlike the Metro, it seems that the MBTA allows musicians to perform in their subway stops. This anonymous gentleman was one of many and by far one of the more talented ones.

canyon of beer

One of my friends introduced me to a new quickly changed setting on my camera. Welcome to vibrant colors, folks!

impromptu

I'm getting better at impromptu portraits. Controlling depth of field on the fly is getting easier, even with the kit lens attached. Not sure if converting this to black and white is the fix for the distracting, though out-of-focus background. Thoughts?

UPDATE: Whatever suggestions you make to improve/change/create something new, I'll edit with Flickr and post them to my photostream.
