The combination of a man arguing with his wife and some chalk graffiti for the background makes something that wasn’t look plausible. To be honest, I like this photograph but couldn’t think o… | Continue reading
She was squirming all over the place but the love in her eyes told a quieter story. | Continue reading
I’ve been to this place hundreds of times. It’s land that was once owned by a old relative of mine who loved growing things, especially trees. I’m embarrassed to say in spite of a… | Continue reading
It’s just stopped raining as people begin to start their way home. While not quite rush hour yet, Winter Street is beginning to get crowded. I made a lot of photographs in this area today but… | Continue reading
Only three letters but they pose a very big question, especially if you ask it about an action you’re about to take. Ask the “why” question three times in a row about that contemp… | Continue reading
Eyes down, eyes ahead, passing swiftly filled with dread….seeing nothing. | Continue reading
If this isn’t obvious let me explain. This photograph is of the deep love my wife has for her Granddaughter. It’s absolutely wonderful to watch! | Continue reading
Being dyslexic I don’t read that many books. I tend to be more an image person. My wife, on the other hand, devours books and loves to go to book stores and other gatherings of the printed wo… | Continue reading
We went to Boston’s Antiquarian Book Fair recently. This post and the next one will share some of the pictures I made there. This first one is of an old book seller with his eyes closed. It l… | Continue reading
I could easily to tack a glib title on this photograph. (How many riffs on the word trash can you come up with?) Actually this is a hard, cruel portrait of a sad, desperate man. The weather is very… | Continue reading

Another winter has comeyour head and hands go numblooking forward to the frost and snownights spent near the fire watching the embers glow. Steve Katz | Continue reading
I know, I know drawing on buildings is frowned on but, I would contend that this chalk landscape on our grungy Park Street subway entrance is someone’s desire to make the place a little happi… | Continue reading

To my mind black and white images love rain. Puddles and water drops making their lovely circles sing in the wet. | Continue reading
Now that our window air conditioner is gone, the new access gives me a great new angle on the city. | Continue reading
It was a gloomy, cool, rain spitting day and I was on my way to the Park Street subway station when I say this chalk drawing on one of its grubby walls. All of a sudden the sun came out. | Continue reading
I love to take photographs of people through windows. The reason is that often the reflections of the area the window looks out on creates a wonderful cacophony that gets added to the image. This i… | Continue reading
Boston’s main public library has a magnificent interior courtyard. I like to sit at one of the small tables that are dotted along the main walkway between the old building and the new modern … | Continue reading
It was cold that day and he was hungry. | Continue reading
We were in Harvard Square this morning and as usual I was toting my little Ricoh along taking street shots. These two folks represent book ends of the seeming endless stream of humanity that was th… | Continue reading
Halloween was yesterday and in our Beacon Hill neighborhood many of the houses competed with skeletons to be the spookiest. Above are just a very few examples. | Continue reading
Walking along the outer edge of the Boston Public Garden yesterday this was what I saw. Mind you this sidewalk is along Boylston Street, a VERY busy road. Sometimes the beauty of nature just grabs … | Continue reading
Umbrellas are a dime a dozen in rainy day photographs, but here we’ve got this great tree that makes all the difference. | Continue reading
Going down Charles Street I came across a large bunch of tourists being led by a guide. One of them was this lady who I managed to photograph close up. To me she has a look of intelligent defiance.… | Continue reading
I took these photographs within 5 minutes of each other. Nothing really spectacular about either of them but when put together, the colors and the way these guys are facing make a nice combination. | Continue reading
Yesterday I was lucky enough to grab this quick photograph of the young lad running along the edge of the lagoon in Boston’s Public Garden. (I had a Fuji 23mm f2 lens on my XT3 camera.) | Continue reading
I’ve visited the Garden numerous times since we moved here and never have I seen a wolf. A large mouse sometimes entertains near the gate to the Commonwealth Avenue Mall but this creature was… | Continue reading
There’s a wall in Boston’s Museum of Fine Art that has shadows of people painted on the wall. If one is patient enough, it’s possible to juxtapose actual people going by these sha… | Continue reading
This morning early it was gloomy, spitting rain and feeling like a “I’m not going out if I don’t have to.” kind of day. However, that feeling vanished once I looked out our … | Continue reading
One holiday that’s celebrated with a vengeance here on Beacon Hill is Halloween. It’s a little early I know but some buildings are already cranking up their decorations as per this door… | Continue reading
Sitting in the warm fall afternoon sun will do this to anyone! | Continue reading
Not my usual Boston-centric street-photograph but rather a west coast shot of some friends talking beside the sea in Santa Barbara, California. The reason I’ve included it here is that it can… | Continue reading
Just a simple street portrait but what I like about is how “Lady Starbucks” is looking over his shoulder. | Continue reading
There’s as 16mm 1.4 lens that you can get for the Fuji X system that, in my opinion, is absolutely magic. Part of the lens’ beauty is that it can focus very closely. It’s not a ma… | Continue reading
I certainly can’t claim that Boston is a bastion of conservatism but when I saw this truck it’s becoming increasingly clear that we’re in for a battle royal in the coming months. | Continue reading
I was wandering around Harvard Square this morning, taking pictures of this and that when I came across this lady beggar sitting with all her worldly possessions almost in the middle of the sidewal… | Continue reading

Proctor Academy has a wonderful program where they take approximately 20 kids aboard the schooner Roseway for a 9 week voyage. It’s a hell of a learning experience! I’m envious. | Continue reading
The once-a-week hot dog. Sooo good! | Continue reading
I purposely underexposed this image and presented it in black and white because of this man’s sorrowful pose. Of course, he may not be sad at all, but if he isn’t, he certainly fooled m… | Continue reading
There is, if we’re lucky, a brief time each morning when breakfast is eaten, dishes are washed and we settle down to read the paper. A treasured private moment before the day’s events begin to intr… | Continue reading
I have only recently begun to look at trees carefully. They’re all around us here in New England of course and we take their presence almost completely for granted. We shouldn’t. When t… | Continue reading
I tried this in black and white but the tones were too close so…. | Continue reading
The wonderful thing about living in the city is you never know what you’ll come across when you peer around the next tree trunk. I think this may be a hobbit but I can’t be sure. | Continue reading
