If We Hadn’t Broken up on Wednesday Night, Thursday Would Have Been a Year
Its not just the image title, its also the name of the record on this cool old Victrola that lives at the Lawrence History Center. I asked to photograph it when I was there on Saturday. They graciously complied. These old 78 RPM records are cave drawings compared to todays MP3s, but they bring back a …
Abstraction
A late post for today, and not too much to say about it. It’s an impromptu study in abstraction from a New Year’s day shoot with Brian Matiash and Pat O’Brien. A great way to kick off the new year.
The Spiral
And now the final detail shot for this week. As I was walking down the steps of the Stone Mill about a year ago, I glanced up. The spiral caught my eye. I had my 50mm on the camera … D300 then, so its reach was more like a 75mm on a full frame camera. …

Gages
Here is another shot from the Pacific Mill Machine Shop. I made a switch to my 50mm f1.4 for the last couple of shots that day to try to narrow my view and mix it up a bit. The details in the the room, sort of demanded it. This shelf of assorted gages was peeking …
The Monster’s Mitt
Whenever a ball is hit towards the Green Monster at Fenway, it brings the crowd to its feet. Any number of things can happen. It can ring off the wall and stay in play (almost surely a home run in any other park), it can land in the Monster Seats, scattering a few fans or …
