Double Sunset
I love sunsets. They're truly magical and I can just lose myself in them over and over again. They're the gateway to darkness and set the stage on which the stars of the night shall dance upon. They're beautiful visually but even more so metaphorically. They represent the end, with promise of new beginning, they give rise to another world almost.
It's these simple things that I adore, but I feel most don't appreciate them because they accept it as expected, as routine.
One day, take the time to sit somewhere beautiful and watch the sun disappear beyond the horizon and witness the transformation from light to darkness and contemplate what you have witnessed; find wonder in the epic mechanics of the cosmos that are so unique to give us not just life, but stable life, for these giant cosmic entities to continually work with such precision that we can accurately predict what they will do at any given point in time. Nature is the ultimate mechanic.

Below the Zakim
Let me start by saying that Boston has really shaped up over these last few years, from the parks and art displays, it truly has a new feel to it, especially during the night.
I recently spent a night out in Boston to photograph some places to add to my Boston Collection, but the main thing that drew me in was that I had came across some images of this bridge next to the Zakim that I had never seen before, needless to say I was intrigued.
I planned it so that the Zakim would be my last stop of the night, mainly since I wasn't sure exactly where this other bridge was in relation to the Zakim, but after a little wandering I spotted it across the way.
Man, this bridge was awesome ! It just had a great feel to it, very sleek and modern, it felt like walking on a path of light ! The main railings on both sides had LED lights beaming down illuminating the path, very cool ! I spent some time walking up and down it, checking out all the features and angles of it, it felt like I couldn't take a bad photo from it, especially with all the great views of the Zakim Bridge ! I think I'll be paying this bridge another visit in the near future :)

The ARC Gloria
It was the Tall Ship festival in Boston and my camera was ready to go. I've always loved the Tall Ship festival, since I was a little kid, and that's what I had in my head on my way there. I walked around for a bit, building visions in my head till I got there and.....it was nothing like I had remembered..
The boats were a lot more like advertising billboards than I had remembered, and that doesn't make for good photos in my opinion. Not to mention how long the lines were. My photog saving grace was the ARC Gloria, which only had adverts and banners on one side, which made it my prime subject for my visit.
All in all I still enjoyed the festival (what do you want for free, right?) Though it wasn't exactly what I had in mind, I still got some great shots and had a great time !

A Horn Pond Sunset
I've seen a lot of amazing sunsets at Horn Pond, and I mean a lot, but this may have been one of the best. Sometimes in photography the most important thing is being there at the right time, and this image is a great example of that.

Boston, You're My Home
Out of all the beautiful views of Boston, this one may just be my favorite.
Boston has an awesome skyline, as you can see it from almost anywhere and admire it's beauty, but I find it most beautiful right here. I first found this place when I first started getting serious with my photography and I came here on a somewhat stormy and dramatic day to photograph it, it was my first rather popular photo.
After evolving and learning and improving, I decided it was time to come back and shoot it again with my new techniques, and the result is the photo you see below. But I learned more from this photo than I planned. Although this photo is much better technically, better exposed, better sharpness, better color and saturation, a few people still were interested in the previous image, which confused me at first. Then I realized that it's not always just about the technical aspect, sometimes the feeling of an image, it's essence, is more powerful than it's technical quality. It was an interesting and important lesson.
