2013 AIDS Walk Boston

2013-06-09T16:16:20Z

Last weekend, I was one of the photogs for the AIDS Walk in Boston. We had a bit of a heat wave last week & I almost melted into a greasy puddle on the sidewalk. I thought that the walk, like the run would only be 5K...wishful thinking. It was 10K, HOT & incredibly humid! I was pretty tuckered at the end of this & still had to lug myself & gear home to start editing. Great turn-out despite the heat though & for everyone that donated, volunteered, walked or ran...you guys are super wicked cool!

Longfellow Bridge

As my neighbour corrected me, this is known locally as the 'Salt & Pepper Bridge.' By far my favourite bridge in the Boston area. And on a cool spring night, there were few people to interupt me as I photographed. I'm really looking forward to slightly warmer nights to photograph, as I've spent some time scouting out potential areas. ;0)

RIX...FRA...BOS

2013-04-21T19:59:10Z

Woo...3AM wake up call to go catch a super early flight. Ended up being a bit of a long day with a 4 hour stop-over in Frankfurt. I just spent my time wandering back & forth through the terminal & cleaning out a small section of Milka from one of the duty free shops. On the way back to Boston, I sat next to a really lovely gentleman who was on his yearly vacation with his family. He had never been to Boston before, so I swapped seats with him so he could see the city as we approached...this is the very reason I always choose a window seat when I can. And it is just the coolest thing to see someone else get super excited when a new city & adventure are in sight! We ended up chatting about a lot of things & travel of course was the bulk of our conversation. He had explained that as a child he could never have imagined being able to do what he does now with his 2 adult children b/c he came from a blue-collar background. Now, the entire family goes on a yearly vacation...which I think is the cutest thing. And when I look back to my earlier years, there is no way I could have envisioned having the life I have now. I certainly could never have even dreamed about working & living in some of the places I've had the great fortune to be in. This is possibly one of the greatest things when meeting fellow travellers. Discovering their curiosities & totally geeking out about places that you've been and look forward to next. So for a seemingly long travel day back, it was fantastic to have a really good in depth conversation which made the time go by so much faster. But it was really wonderful to welcome a group of travellers to a city that is currently home;0)
