  • But, Officer, I’m Only Parked One Way!

    DSC_3610 - Version 22013-04-29-wrong way -own way-parked car-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    We can just hear the arguments as this motorist contests a parking ticket:

    • "I wasn't driving on the One Way street, I was only parking on it!"
    • "I didn't see a One Way sign. Was there a One Way sign?"
    • "I was only parked One Way!"

    Sometimes that too-good-to-be-true parking space requires a slow turn to look at the situation.

  • If You Missed the Back Bay Sun Last Week

    Back Bay Sun Cover

    Friends and neighbors still had a bit of difficulty finding copies of the Back Bay Sun that came out on Tuesday, April 23rd. Many of the places where they usually pick up a copy were locked down for part of the week.

    It was a difficult week to decide on what to use as a cover photo. We sent a couple of options to the editors. We're happy they decided to use this photo that Penny took from the photo bridge over the Boston Marathon finish line early in the morning on April 15th. Most of the week, these flags were still in place.

    You can read some of the stories at the newspaper's website www.backbaysun.com and download a copy of the paper by clicking on the "Full Print Edition" icon in the left hand column. The new issue is usually on the website by Wednesday of each week. Since that icon only lasts until the next paper is pubished, we have uploaded a copy to this link, so that you can find it anytime.

    Here's a list of the places where you can pick up a copy of The Back Bay Sun. We usually get ours in the Circulation Room at the Boston Public Library in Copley Square. There, you'll also find copies of the Beacon Hill Times and the North End Regional Review.

    Here's a list of the other places where you can find copies of this local paper. 

    Disclosure: Yes, that is one of Penny's photos on the cover. The Independent Newspaper Group, owner of all three of these papers, is one of our freelance clients and you'll see our photographs, columns, and articles in their newpapers.

  • Painting the Town: Fresh Paint Event from the Copley Society

    PMC_3140 - Version 22012-05-20-hilary-baldwin-fresh-paint-copley-society-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Once a year, the Copley Society sends its artist members across the city to capture Boston at that moment in time. The event is called Fresh Paint. The works produced are sold a week later at a gala auction to benefit the organization.

    They say: "The Copley Society of Art, Co|So, is the oldest non-profit art association in the United States, with a history dating back to 1879. We currently represent over 500 living artist members, ranging in experience from students to nationally-recognized artists and in style from traditional and academic realists to contemporary and abstract painters, photographers, and sculptors."

    We Say: This is one of our favorite walks of the year. It's free, you pick your route, you get to meet and chat with talented people, and you can even take your dog along. And, the Co|So gallery on Newbury Street is always worth a visit. Drop by before the weekend, pick up a map, gather some friends, and enjoy this uniquely Boston experience.

    In the photo above from last year, artist Hilary Baldwin had a perfect day to paint a scene of the Public Garden and the Back Bay beyond.
