Aquidneck Lobster Company, Newport RI

Aquidneck Lobster Company, Newport, RI

Here is a shot of the sign for the Aquidneck Lobster Company in Newport, RI. I thought it was a pretty cool looking weathered aged sign and building. It is right on the water in a prime spot. They sell fresh seafood here right from the ocean. Also here is a tip if you are ever in Newport and want a good spot to see the ocean, they have a free lookout point of the ocean in the back of their building which has some very nice views of the harbor. In the next few days I will post some more shots from this location from inside and outside on the deck overlooking the ocean.

Gloucester Sailor statue

Here is a photo I took of the famous Gloucester MA monument for sailors who are lost at sea.

Stained Glass, Pentax K10d, Church, Tamron 70-300

Cannon, Newport, RI, Pentax K10d

Here is a photo I took in Newport RI of a monument of some sort that had a cannon and an anchor. You can see some of the chain from the anchor hanging above the cannon. I really liked all the bricks that where around this monument.

Surf Hotel, Hampton Beach, NH

I went to Hampton Beach in NH over the weekend and took a few shots of the boardwalk. This hotel in particular i thought had a cool old fashioned sign. It is right across from the beach so it is prime real estate.

Fenway Park, Sony H1, Red Sox, Boston

Here is a view from my seat of the other fans around me. You can also see one of the scoreboards and the famous Fenway Left Field wall known asĀ  ” The Green Monster”.

Red Sox, Fenway Park, Boston, Mike Timlin

I went to a Red Sox game last night at Fenway Park in Boston MA. It was a perfect night for baseball, not a cloud in the sky and 77 degrees. I was sitting in the Bleacher seats behind the bullpen and here is one of my favorite shots of the night. It is of Mike Timlin from the Red Sox having a chat and watching the game with one of the police officers at the game. Anyways it was a fun time and even more so because the Red Sox won 9-2! I will post a couple of more photos from the game in the coming days so stay tuned.

The New England Holocaust Memorial, Boston, MA, Freedom Trail

This very impressive memorial for the holocaust is in Boston near Faneuil Hall on the famous Boston Freedom Trail. I highly recommend you check it out if you are ever in Boston. To learn more about The New England Holocaust Memorial check out the official website.

Alley, Boston, BW photography

Here is an old alleyway in Boston, MA. I thought it was interesting that it was an entirely brick alleyway with both the ground and the walls made of brick. The graffiti and the dirty ground gave the alley a gritty look that I liked.

Fowles Soda Shop, City Street, Newburyport

Here is a shot from downtown Newburyport, MA. This old time soda shop / newspaper stand seems to be a relic from the past that has been frozen in time and preserved for today.

Castle, City, Newport, RI, Apartments

This is an interesting shot I took in Newport, RI. There was this old building that looked like a castle and towering over it was a modern day apartment building. You don’t often see two buildings that are so different that close together.

Balloon Man, Pentax k10d, DA 18-55, Boston

I took this photo in Boston last year. This very colorful guy making balloon animals was attracting alot of attention. Notice even the women who are walking away from him in the background cant help but peak over their shoulders without even watching where they are going!

railroad, train station, NH, Wolfeboro, Lake Winnipesaukee

I took this shot last summer while on vacation in Wolfeboro, NH. It is a photo of an old train station in the center of town. The building is starting to show its age and is now used as a tourist information center instead of a train station. Still a very interesting building that has a unique architecture.

Union Oyster House, Boston, cobblestone street

Here is a photo I took of the famous Union Oyster House in Boston. For those that don’t know it is the oldest restaurant in Boston and the oldest restaurant in continuous service in the United States (its been open since 1826). Since this is one of the oldest streets in the country I felt this picture would look more timeless once converted to black and white. Overall I am pretty happy with the results. The cobblestone streets and the old restaurants take you back in time even though the illusion is broken since you can see some people with modern items like plastic bags.

horse, boston, driver, waiting, bored

I took this photo on a trip to Boston. Both the horse and the carriage driver are looking very bored as they wait for customers to arrive. Hopefully the wait was not to long (but judging by the empty streets it may have been!)
