Garage Door

I love this door. I'm not sure why, but I do. It's right next to one of my favorite restaurants in PTown, Bubbalas.

Boy Hawk

I had seen this little boy a few times around Provincetown - and when I finally ran into him (and his barely visable purple mowhak) I asked to take his picture. I think he was tired, and had maybe been crying, but he smiled moments afterward as the girl with him offered him a hug, kiss and a tickle!

Boat

We had a great Memorial Day weekend on the Cape with friends. I snaped this one as we spent the day on the beach. I wanted to take the same picture again when the tide went out, but I forgot.

Cape Cod Sunset

Snapped this one off of the balcony of 539 Commercial Street in Provincetown - aka the condo that is two miles away, but worth the walk at least once, maybe twice. It was more striking in person, but all I had was my little point and shoot, and a quick second to take the picture before the sun sank behind the trees.

Boston Pops

Becca, my parents and I went to the Boston Pops for Boston College night. I really enjoyed the show as they did "A Tribute to Oscar and Tony" and played a whole night of showtunes. Highlights were the overature from The Sound of Music and the MBTA song with video accompanyment. All night though we could see balloons being held near the ceiling -finally at the end of the night thy let them go - much to my mothers delight - she had alot of fun popping them!

Comm Ave Sunset

I took this one as I was walking home after class one night. The sky was beautiful!

BC Graduation

Graduates! My (baby) brother graduated from BC. My parents are glad because they no longer have to pay tuition. The BC Commencement was a long drawn out affair, but at least we had nice weather!

North End Lamppost

Went to dinner with the family in the North End. Though there is a lot of "noise" in this picture, it was my favorite that I took that night.

Prudential

Unsuccessfully looking for J.Crew, I happened into the Prudential Mall. I took this one from inside of the Prudential Tower.

Penn Station


Penn Station, originally uploaded by laxlaws.

I had to take a quick trip (up and back in one day) to get a root canal in NYC. My train was delayed heading back to Boston, so I got to spend a couple unexpected hours in Penn Station. I was trying to capture some movement in the picture, but the people didn't really cooperate.

Softball

I took this one of Becca at her softball game. She made it to third! I can't remember if she scored on the play, but boy does she look ready!

Lars Anderson Park

Always up for a picnic, Becca and I went to Lars Anderson Park in Brookline. It ended up being too cold and windy for us to sit out for long, but I managed to snap a few pictures of the Boston skyline.

Flower


Flower, originally uploaded by laxlaws.

Becca and I took a dinner and dessert walk - to get sushi and milkshakes. I captured this one on the way home. There was a beautiful garden in someones front yard, and I set my camera to macro and shot this blindly as I didn't want to step into the garden to take then shot. I love the way it turned out, especially the colors of the flower.

Flour

This was taken at the Back Bay Upper Crust. If you haven't tried Upper Crust pizza here in Boston, I highly reccomend it. Most pizza in Boston is plain bad (growing up in NJ I'm used to good NY pizza) but Upper Crust makes the cut.

Newbury Church


Newbury Church, originally uploaded by laxlaws.

I really like the composition of this shot, though I almost wish the sign on the lightpost was legible. I can't decide if I like the people in the shot, or wish they weren't there. Oh well!

Red Bike


Red Bike, originally uploaded by laxlaws.

This bike is outside a store on Newbury Street. I really wanted to make this photo black and white and leave the bike red. I'm hoping Becca can work some photo shop magic on it later on, but decided to post it anyway.

BC Ice Cream


BC Ice Cream, originally uploaded by laxlaws.

I just snapped this one as I walked through the Alumni Stadium on my way to class one day. Who knew BC had thier own ice cream thingys. Notice the super-imposed eagle. I was impressed. I guess when you're an ACC school you get this kind of support for your concession stand.

Men on Benches

Obviously Kyle was moving too fast for the camera on this one! Kyle and Kevin were sitting out on the benches outside Vinny T as we waited for the rest of our lab section to come and join us for dinner. They're both laughing, I wonder if somone told a funny joke...

Save!


Save!, originally uploaded by laxlaws.

I used to coach the UNH lacrosse team. I haven't be able to catch many of their games, but I caught this one against Harvard. Unfortunately Harvard won. As an Eli, I hate Harvard - always and in everything. Too bad the weather was miserable too. I really want a telephoto lens to capture the action up close, but for now, I think this one came out pretty well!
