gone for a spin

I cannot explain why I always think laundromats need to be photographed. My brain, which can sometimes* be surprising stubborn, just insists on it.

So naturally, while I was wandering around the North End, with all the history and culture and whatnot, I went inside to look at clothes rolling around in a dryer. The Old North Church can just wait a few damn more minutes.

*Always, actually.

walk v. ride

I haven’t been out making new photos lately – other stuff has taken priority, etc. But luckily I have a gigantic archive of photos that I never got around to editing.

So, anyway, today kicks off a little series that I’ll call When I Went To Boston.

The way the part-of-a-person seems to be striding so confidently past the row of bikes makes me laugh and you probably know by now that if a photo makes me laugh, I’m gonna eventually post it…

lamp/light

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.

shutter

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.
