Wanted to mix up my shooting style a bit. Shot a few buildings in my home city with the idea of making them black and white in the end.

Why that looks a lot like the Pru building. (I worked for Pru and made many visits to Boston.) I like your shots.

Nice shots. I like them in black & white. You did a good job getting the oober-tall Hancock building in a single shot, though the car/taxi in the foreground are a little distracting. This might inspire me to take a walk around the city and snap some shots sometime soon.


Life in the slow lane... ;)

Thanks man. Hit me up if you plan on it. I live here and always up for shooting. I have the taxi in it for a sense of scale and place. =]

They lined up a bunch of wooden figures to show how many people are in need of food in Boston.

And, you may not remember but when the Hancock Building was new, window panes would occasionally pop out and go sailing to the street below. They had guards posted to warn people on the sidewalk when it happened.
