In Boston

If there’s one disadvantage about traveling alone, it’s the relative absence of pictures with your own person in them. I don’t mind it very much; outside street or people photography, a lot of my pictures are framed during picture taking such that minimal persons will be in the shot. When that doesn’t work completely, it’s cropping in Photoshop.

Then again, you sometimes need pictures with yourself in it. My institution requests for them for their publicity or briefing materials, and the wife might want them too.

The window of opportunity for this trip was when Matt was in town, so he went about taking pictures – a selection of which are below – using that uber Nikon 35mm f1.8 lens of his.:)

So here we go – the post for the wife.:)

Picture on the right: in front of Trinity Church.

Picture below; At Chipotle’s. Really yummy burritos!

Picture below: In front of Faneuil Hall. It was very hot and the sun was about right in my face.:)

Below: In front of the Boston Public Library just before heading in to check out the place.

Below: Along the Gloucester coast line. This was where I took those pictures of the sail boat.

Below: In Gloucester while waiting for to board the whale-watching boat. This was about 2:15 PM – and yep, I was ‘enjoying’ the summer heat.:)

Below: Shade is good. On board the Yankee Freedom and just departing Gloucester harbor.

Below: Getting some quick video footage of whales breaching. Just look at the waves – the waters were very choppy.

Below: It was extremely difficult trying to balance myself with camera at the ready while waiting for the whales to surface again. The boat was bopping up and down furiously even tough it wasn’t moving.

Below: Both pictures are from Provincetown. Left picture: I was doing that video segment at the base of the monument. Right picture: After the climb and still looking hearty.

Below: On the return trip from Provincetown and on board Provincetown III, the fast ferry. You can’t tell from this picture, but it was terrifically windy. My back’s turned towards the wind – that’s why.:)
