Pattern play

This theme was to focus on patterns, which I thought would be fairly easy. While there are lots of patterns in everyday things, a lot of them start to look the same and are mostly geometric. They also didn't always lend themselves to especially interesting photos, in terms of composition. You can only take so many photos with the camera aimed straight at a pattern.

But after reviewing the bunch, I think they're a good variety of patterns, color and compositions. It took almost the whole two weeks to find all nine, and most ended up being from my own neighborhood in the South End. Its bricks, old grates and industrial buildings were the best subjects for natural patterns, especially since Boston isn't bursting with striking modern architecture. Enjoy!

NY state of mind

Chris planned a long weekend trip to New York as a surprise, so it easily became the photo theme for last week. It's not hard to find good shots in the city, but I tried to aim for things that were specific to NYC. I probably take a lot of these same photos every time we visit, but some are too iconic to resist.

I also included one more photo than normal, since I loved seeing Boston listed on the old-fashioned boards at Penn Station. I like to visit, but I was happy to head home.

Movin' on up

The second installment of my project was all about stairs: in any form, inside or out, clinging to buildings or ones I travel everyday. It was a bit more of a challenge to find interesting subjects, and I went out in search of these photos more than I did with the first theme, which took some work between the snow and cold.

Enjoy this group, and you can see my entire current Instagram feed (where the project photos are posted as I go) on the bottom of the About page.

It begins!

With the launch of the new site, I decided I need a regular source of motivation for new photos to add. So I'm giving myself bi-weekly assignment themes and will post the results here. Hopefully I can keep up with that pace, it might become monthly, but a new post every two weeks is the goal!

It's the middle of winter and the gloom is starting to set in. So with that in mind, I went out in search of yellow things to brighten it up.
