    The Church of the Covenant, on the corner of Berkeley and Newbury Streets (map), has been added to the National Register of Historic Places. The building contains 42 Tiffany stained glass windows that are an integral part of the largest Tiffany-designed church interior in the country.

    Sometimes, when we stroll around Boston's historic districts on daily errands or regular visits, we forget that we're walking though a National Treasure that visitors come from all around the world to see.

    A project is underway to restore the Tiffany windows. Tours of the interior will resume this spring. Until then, you can take this online tour.

    Don't miss an Easter photo opportunity. This Canon PowerShot G15 camera will give you what you need to take stills and video of your Easter celebration. Canon's G series is our all-time favorite for everyday cameras. We own the G10 and G11. 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 second cameras. And, if you are ready to turn pro, follow our lead. Ed shoots with the Nikon D7000 Digital SLR too. We just added a Nikon D600
    to our camera fleet and are extremely happy with the performance it has delivered.

  • 2012 Fenway Studios Open House November 3rd & 4th

    The Fenway Studios Open House is an event we look forward to each year, and it's happening this weekend. More than 25 members of this not-for-profit artists' cooperative will open their studios, and in some cases their homes, to visitors.

    20101104DSC_8777 - Version 2

    Artist, Robert Baart has been kind enought to keep us informed of happenings around this historically important organization and building. (That's Robert in the photo above.) He recently alerted us to something we are excited to photograph!

    "At the Fenway Studios we have just finished a restoration of our magnificent front door. It was a project done by a group of members spearheaded by current president David Lowrey. It's how it looked in 1905 when the Fenway Studios was constructed." 

    We have our own system for enjoying the open house. Each year we try to concentrate on one or two floors so that we can do more than a quick walk through of each offering. It also allows us to relax and admire the architecture of this treasured building on our annual opportuntity to spend some time inside.

    Viewing an artist's work in their studio setting is just one aspect of this event. (And, you really must see these Robert Baart pieces in person – photos could never capture all the subtle nuances.)

    Some works are still on easels with the palette and color pots present.
