My camera is not surgically attached to me (yet). Still so much to learn, and so much to observe and capture!

Boston Spring Time


Today, I shot photos of the Charles River. For the second weekend, I drove over to Cambridge while waiting for laundry. I think I've already spent 6 (non consecutive) days shooting along that side of the river (twice walking home, twice with coworkers, twice on the weekend) and it's still not right! I am still not satisfy with my work!

Every time I'm there, something changes. This week, flowers started to bloom. The scene is very breathtaking - I even asked myself, would learning to capture/perfect my photos of the Charles River be something I want to commit to? This was a commitment that I had no problem saying YES to -- unlike those magazine subscriptions.

In a way, it's kind of sad too. While flipping through my photos, I realize, I have pics of New England/Boston during the fall and spring... but I didn't take any during the winter time... but mostly b/c I wasn't inspired. It would have been nice to collect photos throughout the entire year ... but then again, I always said that spring and fall are my favorite seasons.



Then, before heading to my studies, I couldn't help stopping by Athan's for a cup of ice coffee. En route, I saw these BEAUTIFUL Magnolia trees next to the Brighton Library. I had to pull over for a couple of shots. 

At the same time, my friend called. I ended up taking photos while I was on the phone...haha. What?! It's not like drinking and driving.
