At The Boston Public Library

This is a sardonic age we are living in. Yes this was taken at the BPL, she was leaning against the wall by the front door, and no I shouldn’t have given the photo it’s title.  | Continue reading

6 Dollars Worth Please!

We went to a ball game yesterday. It was hot and humid but still a lot of fun with the extra bonus that for a “photog” like me it was pure people watching heaven. Oh, and the Red Sox wo… | Continue reading

Boston’s Public Garden
