This? Oh just a fascinating shadow that I saw on the corner of Pickney and W. Cedar Streets. I’m going to pretend that I just knew the name of the intersection off the top of my head, but if you think it actually took me a few minutes just now on Google street view to figure it out, you would not be wrong.

The other day, someone asked me if having an architectural degree influenced my photography. (Because that degree hasn’t exactly influenced my bank account in any noticeable degree.) Anyway, I guess it did, because otherwise I would have passed right by this shutter without making a photo. You know, the way a normal person would have.
But I bet my architecture professors are real proud.

I really like how the best things you see when you’re walking around are things you probably would have never even thought about until you saw them. This little collection of stuff on the sidewalk in Beacon Hill was quite interesting, even if the people giving me the side-eye while I made somewhere between 5 and 42 photographs didn’t think so. I know I’m right and I know they’re…not.

Walk around back.
Look at what’s behind you.
Look up, too.

Obligatory Location
It was a delightful coincidence that my work trip to Boston could be arranged to allow me to participate in a group photo walk through the lovely Beacon Hill neighborhood. If I am being honest, places like Beacon Hill aren’t my favorite locations; it is much tidier and well-kept than the places I like to shoot. Plus the class required the use of a 50mm lens, and it is not a lens I automatically use.
Challenges are good, though. They make your brain work in different ways, make your eyes seek different subjects. Those are always excellent exercises for photographers and I am very happy that I was able to take the class.
And that’s the long way of explaining that this street seems to be the most famous street in all of Boston, and so I sort of had to photograph it.
