Street Performer

I took these shots in Harvard Square a few years ago. The young man in the red shirt was doing a street performance - some magic, some song and dance - he was good.

In these shots he's knocking a pencil out of the woman's hand with rope. As the rope went up in the air it seemed to turn into a stick and easily knocked the pencil away.

It was a beautiful day in Boston. I love that city.

I love the dark brick and all the detail around the windows.

Happy Hump Day to All

Black and White Wednesday: Sunday On Campus

I took this when visiting Harvard. Only way I could ever get to Harvard was as a tourist!

It's a beautiful campus in a wonderful city.



BLACK AND WHITE WEDNESDAY

Weekend Reflections: Harbor Cruise

I took these a million years ago. I was visiting one of my favorite cities - Boston - and killing time before the next cruise ship left.

I was using film - remember film?

When I look at them now I see so many things I would have done differently.

Blogging really has helped me grow as a photographer. Thanks to all of you who inspire me to copy your techniques.

Sepia Scenes: Rainy Morning in Boston

I took this outside the Boston Aquarium. A great place to visit, their penguin habitat is wonderful.



Boston is a great city.

Mellow Yellow Monday: Harvard Square

This one is from my archives - found it while I was rooting around. It's Harvard Square - October 2006.


Happy MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY

Triple Tagged

I'm not joining SEPIA SCENES this week. I just don't have anything I think is good enough to share. I encourage you to check out the others - sepia is a beautiful photo treatment and the photographers who post each week are very talented.

It does give me a chance to catch up on the 3 photo tags I got saddled - uh - honored with this week -

It's simple and actually fun because it gets you to look at photos you may have forgotten. All I had to do was go to the 6th photo in the 6th archive folder and post it.

But of course nothing is simple. Not with me.

I have folders all over the place - hard drive, server, laptop, flash drive - not to mention all the photos I take using film - they're on zip discs and CDs.

So --- I chose my 2006 flash drive. The 6th folder in there was my trip to Boston in October of '06.

I chose the 6th photo for PAGAN, and check out her PHOTO BLOG too. She just burst out of the gate with her photos and every single day her shots are amazing works of art.
This photo is one of the entrances to the Christian Science Center - I loved the fall foliage peeking thru the columns.



I chose the 4th photo in this same album for SPARTACUS. His tag asked for 4th rather than 6th because that is just how my homey Sparty rolls.
This is a view from the line waiting to board one of Boston's many tours of the bay.



For PINK I chose the 6th photo within the 6th folder on my laptop. Pink also has a PHOTO BLOG. Her photos are as lovely as she is. She's such a gentle soul.
Here we have Siren on top of the dresser waiting to pounce on Mia when she comes out from under the bedspread. Good Times!



I never tag people but I encourage you to go check out your archives. It's fun to rediscover an old photo.
