What's that?

This month's Boston.com contest is a repeat of "What's This?" Last year, much to my surprise, I won 3rd place in the contest! I am not sure how I am going to rank this year, but I like my photo, so that is all that matters!!!

Leaf-icle

Earlier this week, we got slammed by a nor'easter that dropped about 19 inches of snow and ice here in the Boston area. It was absolutely gorgeous! I spent some time outside photographing the aftermath and got some beautiful shots, however I chose this one for my photo of the week because I just love how despite the frailty of the leaf and the potential for it to crumble, it is perfectly preserved within the ice.

They say that another icy storm is coming this week...I hope this one will prove camera worthy as well!

Here are some of my other favorites from this storm.

The Calm Before the Storm

Tonight I spent some time doing some low light photography with my friend Melody. We met up near the Boston Common (where we saw that a helicopter had to make an emergency landing!) and then walked down the picturesque Charles Street. It was hard to choose what photo I wanted to be my "photo of the week" because there were many good ones. Eventually I settled on a scenic shot of Charles Street itself during a peaceful moment. We are supposed to get a blizzard tomorrow during the day and I feel like this photo captures "the calm before the storm." We shall see.
Goodnight!!!

Sound the Trumpets!

When I was in college and in my college chorale, we once performed a piece called "Sound the Trumpets." I can still hear it in my head now, it was a catchy bit. :) So for last week's photo, I tried to recreate the song photographically. Enjoy!

Week 1: January 1, 2011!!!

I cannot think of a better way to start off the New Year than spending a BEAUTIFUL day at the beach! It was close to 60 degrees out and sunny! I hope that this is a sign of the year to come. While my friend Melody and I were walking along the shore at Singing Beach and taking photos, I decided that I wanted to resurrect my photo of the week experiment this year...AND STICK TO IT!!! So here I go! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

I'm BA-ACK! 2011 is here, along with a new resolution

Well everyone, I am back. Last year, I slumped and in the span of just over a month, I let my 2010 Photo Experiment become a distant memory. But a New Year is here, and so I resolve to get back on ball. I got a new telephoto lens for Christmas too, so I am excited to get out there and start using it. Here goes!!!

So, even though I have not been posting for the past year, here are some of my favorite photos that I have taken. See, I did not totally go away! Enjoy!!!
