the beginning of a tiresome journey...
crosswalk, red lights and a four way street.
shadows at around noon =)
all the boats docked nearby, without sails...
a duck!
sailboats under a willow tree =)
setting sail!
cute little bridge with lego-like buildings in the distance.
someone's ivy hanging from a tray in the north end. my legs were getting numb by then.
getting back near the city with the tall buildings! there's the extremely reflective glass building in the back that's shaped sort of like a ps2... and the subtle reflection of the clouds in the windows at the left =)
here i am taking a pic of this necklace i liked through the window of a jewelry store. the clerk is busy helping a customer so i don't look too suspicious....
the beautiful statues outside of the borders store...
so that concludes my insane walking day with jenny. i'm sure we probably covered 5 miles at least, to and from for me. walked from my house to arlington to the charles, then crossing the bridge at the very end of the right side, then heading to where beacon hill was where all the rich people lived... i believe it's somewhere near north end, because they had italian flags hanging around shops. it felt almost like harry-potterville how everything was made of brick and it was so lively. all the shops had its own mom&pop shop feel to it. everything feels a hundred years old. so anyway, from there we went to the state house, sat for a while because my stomach was upset. then we set out again, but back into downtown when jenny wanted to go back and go to faneuil hall T__T... we went to borders after sitting down to a street performance. she eventually called and met up with kerby, and they went on to faneuil hall while i half-limped my way home. it is now 2 days after, and i am still sore. i spent all of yesterday sleeping... precisely 22 hours, with about an hour of break in between... i think by now i've figured out that i'm extremely horrible with any type of workout, and will never attempt that kind of distance again. that should about conclude my nice stroll around boston.

First of all I absolutely love the pictures of the skyscrapers. I love that sort of criss-crossing geometry of it. Especially the last one how it has that boxy shadow at the botom and the crystal clear reflections of the cloud on the sky scraper, the illusion of the clear sky inside the dark, and dank city. And the interesting S shape it reflects on the left building I thought was really cool.
But I must say my favorite is the last with the sail boats and that GORGEOUS sky. It makes me completely jealous of how clear your camera is, and your foresight to take that picture. And the picture of that bridge railing is such great perspective. I wish I could just print these on glossy paper and plaster them on my walls. I'm contemplating doing that in my apartment room though, I would love the help :)
Kit,
I’m glad to see you’re back in business, as it were. You've posted some good work here. I particularly like the tall buildings/PS2 shot. The convoluted geometry created by the varied texture and reflectivity of the buildings and the wayward shadows is almost hypnotic. It has a cubist vibe, to me.
I also think the shadows picture makes for an excellent self-portrait.
Thanks again for reading and commenting on Phrenology. I’m always glad to hear when it strikes a chord.
wonderful pictures, hope all is well and its nice to be back to view your blog once again.
