boston biped. always walking always looking often hiding from the world we've made ++queer is beautiful++ most photos taken w minolta 58mm f1.2 or c-mount lens all images are mine, except reposts ofc
a wooden pillar on a porch with morning light on the curve of its left side. background is a deep red blur of distant fall leaves
looking through a tunnel of tree leaves in fall colors run through with sunlight
so much fall
so much more to fall
#photography #fall #cmount
blurry road signs crowded on the right one speed limit sign with bright yellow matches tiny bright yellow leaves on a tree in focus in the background
folded striped grey and solid blue umbrellas in an outdoor eating area surrounded by old brick buildings and in the background one tall tree in green and yellow fall colors
a weathered public art object in the shape of a large new England style house on the top of a tall pole is surrounded by fall foliage
the tops of three trees compete in yellows reds and greens against a blue sky, crossed by dark blurry transmission lines in the foreground.

a photo of the back of an old rusty stop sign where someone has attached a small highschool senior photo, instantly recognizable as Laura palmer's yearbook photo from twin peaks.
lynch was haruspex
in the american abattoir
gleaning murky truth in shades of offal
we need artists willing to get lost on their way to nowhere
sending out great exhalations along the way
without the lost
we are lost

deep red/purple leaves on bountiful display, mostly obscuring a white metal parking sign
looking through multiple layers of treetops in yellow and green to a distant american flag fully extended in a breeze. behind is a huge bank of super white fluffy clouds
bright red yellow and green leaves invade the image from bottom left consuming a distant brick wall
earlier today running errands in Davis square

cell photo looking down at a finished printed image of a girl climbing a massive memorial and carefully placing a sign on a sitting statue that reads "power to the peaceful"
16 x 20 aka 406 x 508
print on baryta softgloss
i'm liking it but I'll walk by it for a few days in different light and maybe do one more print. it might be a bit warm.

the enormous backlit head of a chicken on an inflatable costume seems to be squawking at the heavens next to a bright American flag.
amidst a crowd of brightly lit and blurry people, one person stops to stand in the shadow of a tree and draw. an older gentleman is sitting on the ground in the shade with his head resting on the side of the same tree.
a crazed chicken and a pause in the action
on Boston common the other day

a picture of bubbles floating around in front of a huge marble memorial pedestal where people are sitting and holding signs. the most prominent reads "MAGA is FASCISM"

Boston common 2 days ago

a bright pink inflatable axolotl carrying a sign reading "Axolotls Against Autocracy". part of a human face can be seen in a window in the chin of the costume
on the left , a large American flag during a lull in the wind; on the Right, the bright yellow backlot head of a clearly insane chicken whose beak hasn't been inflated properly. a human head can be seen poking out the neck but it's lost in shadow.
a backlit dinosaur (trex) walking away beside someone wearing a costume that makes it look like they're riding a horse (?), holding a sign that reads "NO CONS NO KINGS"
a crowd of people looking away. in the center is the back of a gigantic white inflated chicken costume.
some of the creatures yesterday in Boston

looking up at a memorial where people are climbing to place signs and watch the crowd. 4 ppl are visible behind a sunlit statue of a woman in a robe. on the right, one person balances carefully, reaching a hand out tentatively towards the silhouette of a ww1 soldier statue.
a sea of people and signs. one extra large sign held up by two people above all the others reads in black capital letters "NO ONE IS COMING IT'S UP TO US"

a protester wearing a Garfield costume carries a sign that reads "i hate ΜΆmΜΆoΜΆnΜΆdΜΆaΜΆyΜΆsΜΆ FASCISTS". behind then another person carries a sign that reads "i love America"
looking up at a memorial where people have climbed and placed signs. a person behind the silhouette of the statue of a ww1 soldier waves a large American flag. another person stands arms akimbo looking out over the crowd, in a pose mirroring the pose of the soldier statue. behind them is nothing but sky
a person wearing all black and a Patriots football branded tshirt walks slowly through the crowded park carrying a large American flag on his shoulder.
looking up at a statue honoring soldiers in past wars. a round sign has been placed in the statue's hands that reads "no king then. no king now". one of the statues extended fingers seems to be pointing up at the sign it holds
Boston common yesterday

telephoto of a distant memorial plinth covered in florid gold lettering. shadowy forms in the foreground seem to be swarming up the base of the statue until one girl in bright sunlight, reaching up to attach a sign and pausing, face-to-face with the dark statue. the sign reads "power to the peaceful" in cheery lettering. 2 distant blurry buildings in the background make the whole image feel like a miniature.
i took a bunch of photos with the old cmount telephoto lens today
but im too tired right now
no kings Boston was like a party.theres something exhausting about it all but i hope it leads to...anything. even a tiny ripple can dislodge a dam.

a b&w view from down the street of an old condemned building caught in a shaft of afternoon light
b&w pic of a classic yellow school bus passing, obscuring a closer view of the condemned building
a b&w view from across the street of an old condemned building. a street sign on the top right reads "Washington st"
approaching a building like it's a moment in time
trapped in an architectural cage
#architecture #photography
a condemned old stone building surrounded by a chain link fence, photographed from across an intersection. 4 floors with a double-tall ground floor. almost all the windows are covered by rotting boards.
looking up at the facade of the building. there is stone carving and metal sculpture and iron work and slate paneling; everything is decorated in an unobtrusive manner.
just a beautiful old building awaiting erasure. every inch of the facade is covered in precious little details
#architecture #photography
a classic Boston apartment block of blond brick with rounded corners and sections of bright green metallic patina. 6 floors, no messin around.
Boston buildings can be really great in good light.
not the new ones though. those all look gross and every time i see a new one going up i just hear einstuerzende neubauten like a ringing in the ears...
#photography #architecture
a complex cacophony of contrasting patinas on an old condemned building. pale blue rust red streaking yellow and even olive green.
looking up at the face of an old concrete apartment block, and 2 shadowy concrete porches with dark metal railing. all of the windows reflect a pale blue sheen.
the pale blue of late-day capitalism

#architecture
a dark exposure of the decorations on the corner of the roof of an old brick building, contrasting with a distant skyscraper partially obscured by the old facade. due to the dark exposure, the skyscraper is just a set of parallel vertical lines of bright aluminum.
photo of the rotting facade of a building awaiting demolition across the street. 2 ppl wearing blue caps are crossing towards the camera and against traffic.
vertical photo looking between two buildings to see two iconic Boston buildings in bright sunlight, Prudential on the left and Christian science center on the right. deep shadows obscure the bottom of the image except three reflective street signs:"Massachusetts ave" "no turn on red" and just "no" with the rest of the sign cut off.
today was sunny
so i skipped the bus that wasn't coming anyway
and walked to the river

a distant double headed tuba disappears into the crowd
dbl dragon tuba
was stuck at a crosswalk when i saw it in the crowd. waited for traffic then ran like an agent in a movie whose lost their mark. how could a dbl tube disappear? i turned down a side street then spun around and it was right behind me. I let it pass and took pics

light hits a single face in an otherwise dark crowd

photo of band member's left side and back, wearing all red and a red sequin cap, finishing their bagel before marching in a parade. on the back of their red jacket is a large patch depicting a tarot card "the tower" (rider-waite version)
a very dark image of the back of someone in a pink felt cowboy hat holding a bunch of balloons in their left hand.
i got confused and rushed to the parade route an hour early. as i walked home, staging and setup for the parade were starting.
so . . . instead of pictures of a parade, I've got pictures of people _preparing_ for a parade! even better, right??

the back of a very old beat-up tuba

photo of a bunch of buildings made of different materials and arranged in s strange geometry. nearby roadwork has left a large pile of dirt in front of the closest building and a worker carrying a broom and shovel has just entered frame bottom right.
a found arrangement im always trying to photograph but it's usually snarled with parked cars. thanks, roadwork!
