The North End Two Ways from Matt Conti

Earlier this year, Matt Conti took over the site North End Boston. It is the perfect companion for his original site, North End Waterfront. Between the two sites, you can keep up with the latest news about this important Boston neighborhood and find the resources, places, and sites you want.

Matt, I'm thankful for all the hard work you do for your community!

North End Boston offers a set of resources for those interested in the North End as a place to visit or live. It can be a great site to send to anyone who is coming to Boston as a visitor or to find new places to go, things to see, and dining options in the North End.

North End Waterfront is the site for news, information, and community conversation about the neighborhood. As large, mainstream media covers less and less local news, sites like this become more and more valuable to me.

Keep up the good work Matt! And, please keep dropping in those great North End Waterfront puzzles from time to time. I appreciate a few minutes of fun every now and them.

He Roller Skied from Hopkinton to Boston

Over the weekend, we came upon this guy who told us he had roller skied from Hopkinton to the Boston Marathon finish line.

When he noticed Penny taking his photo, he asked if she could take one with his iPhone. She did and he gave it his thumbs up. Hope he had a ride home after his workout.

Update 11.26.13: The man in the photo is Ari Ofsevit . He left a comment here and you can learn more about his workout over on Universal Hub where he was kind enough to respond to all the questions and comments UH readers posted.

Patrick Andrew Collins Memorial as the Seasons Change
This photo of the Collins Memorial on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall shows the seasonal transition. Colorful foliage makes the sculptural shapes of the bare elms stand out.

Last week, I had a Twitter converstaion with Jeff from the great fall foliage site Jeff Foliage.

He was saddened by the end of his favorite photography season.
- “@BostonZest Thanks for the RT Penny. The #fallcolors are running on empty.”
- I responded, “@Foliage_Reports Ah, but the textures of the grasses and sculpture of bare trees are wonderful subjects too.”
Every season gives me new aspects of the city to photograph.

Two Views of Admiral Morison: It’s Photo Day!

In this shot of the statue of Samuel Eliot Morison on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, Ed caught the wonderful light that was shining through the foliage and striking the elm tree in the foreground. I like how the green of the elm and the trees in the yards across the street punctuate the fall colors.

We wander through our days with two cameras and two different photography prospectives. One of our weekly assignments is a cover shot for the Back Bay Sun. When it’s time to edit the photos and decide which to submit, it’s fun to see how the two of us capture different moments of the same scene.

When I walked by a day later, the sprinkler system on the Mall was being drained by Parks Department staff. As the water ran out and the spray turned to fog, I was able to capture the diagional rays of mist in the sunshine over the horizontal stripes of green and gold.

Don’t miss a holiday photo opportunity. This Canon PowerShot G16 Digital Camera will give you what you need to take stills and video of your celebrations. Canon’s G series is our all-time favorite for everyday cameras. We own the G10 and G11 and they still give us great service after many years.

They’re a little bigger than the compacts most people use, but let you shoot with automatic settings or easy-to-use manual controls that please the many pros who use them as “always with me” cameras.

And, if you are ready to turn pro, follow our lead. Ed shoots with the Nikon D7000 Digital SLR and Penny uses the Nikon D600. Nikon and Canon make up our camera fleet and we are extremely happy with the performance delivered.
