Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

This theme was a suggestion from a photographer friend of mine: to just focus on one street. So I picked Tremont Street, about a block from my apartment, and the main thoroughfare through the South End. It has endless options for subject matter, from its restaurants and shops, to plazas and small parks, but I tried to stick to a fairly small portion, about half a mile total. They're not the most consistent group of images when shown together, but I tried to have a variety of subjects and compositions, and it definitely represents the street and neighborhood well.

The only time I strayed from this defined area was for a challenge by the Instagram group IGBoston. In order to become a member with them, you need to submit your gallery and then complete a challenge shot they pick out for you. They asked me to post a photo of one of Boston's grand public fountains, and luckily there's a good one (and only one) along Tremont Street in the Boston Common. I came away with a shot I really liked, that still fit in well with the other Tremont photos, and brought me into IGBoston.
