It is what it sounds like. So original, I know. Happy New Year!

Allston Rock City Part 3
I have always thought that the following scenario would make for interesting photos: Head to Allston on a scorching hot summer day. When I used to live in Allston back in 2010-13, that was definitely true. Onetime I saw this kid working on a bike while getting a haircut in front of the former Bicycle Bill’s bike shop. One time I saw 4 kids with crazy tattoos hanging out shirtless on a weekday morning sitting on a stoop drinking PBRs. They were 2 of those times when I wished I had a camera.
I took these on a 90 degree saturday in July. It was a tamer day than I would have hoped but at least people were out. Allston is a really interesting place. What people think Somerville is, Somerville is really just pretending to be Allston. Walking around it is a full on sensory experience - you hear bands practicing, you see interesting people and things and houses, it smells unique (but def not good)...
Here is my thesis on why Allston is good, despite what you hear from people.
The reason that people move to the city is that the city is where interesting things happen and where interesting people are. It is a little bit grungy and dangerous (supposedly) but that is part of what makes it fun. Cities have become increasingly sanitized of any of these “undesired elements,” places like Allston have become more rare.
If you asked a 26 year old boston resident if Boston is diverse, they’d probably say yes. We have many different types of white people, many different types of startups, many different types of high end taco restaurants with elaborate tequila menus. Very diverse.
It’s good to have Artisan food and nice trappings of a modern wealthy city. The idea of only having that sounds incredibly boring to me.
It you want to see real cultural and economic diversity, Allston is where it’s at. It’s all of the things that make cities attractive, however not the sanitized version but the real thing. It’s extremely imperfect and weird and gross, and it’s 1 mile from harvard university, and if you walk down the street you can hear bands practicing in all the different three deckers.

Porchfest part II
#porchfest #Somerville #Boston
Porchfest is a really unique somerville festival. Around 200 bands played on different porches around town, and everyone wanders around the city all day stopping and checking out different things. It’s really cool because it gets chaotic, yet the city encourages it, and trusts people to enjoy the day appropriately. There were people blocking traffic in some areas, but everyone was really calm and nice, there wasn’t any real illicit activity going on, and there weren’t a thousand police offers around patrolling everyone. All in all, a great day to live in Somerville.

36 Harrington St.
Shrewsbury, MA
4/30/16
Paid a visit to a really interesting old property in my hometown. 36 Harrington ave...people have been wondering about this place for years. It seems like as long as anyone can remember, it’s looked condemned. At one point, it had to have been some type of office building, and with the with the white stucco, pitched tin roofs, and balconies, I’ve always thought it looked like something out of a cop movie set in 1950′s Miami or something, where the PI’s office would be upstairs and the pretty lady comes in one day with an interesting assignment...
I’d love to know more about this place...whatever became of lefty? Why is there a copy of “Living in the U.S.A” laying around in the place? I got here a few years too late. I can remember driving by here at one point there were no boards up. I’d love to have made a trip up the stairs, and to have peered into some windows. Too bad, but pretty interesting.

Commonwealth Ave Part 2/Leftovers/streetscapes (a word I think I made up)
Tumblr Wouldn’t let me get these into the last post, which is too bad, because now I have 4 random pictures of the road that would have spliced in with the others pretty nicely. This part of town has a weird topography that I was trying to capture and these pictures would have helped me make the case. If you walk around the area outside of Cleveland Circle, everything is like a hundred years old and made of brick. It all has this weird lean, to the point where it looks like it’s about the fall over. Even the T leans coming around the bends. The roads split randomly, and there are these weird hills. Also, as another bonus shot, a pretty girl walking in front of the T, in black and white.
I love this neighborhood, and not just because of college nostalgia. Walking around this area feels like looking at an old wilted photo from the 70′s or something. It’s like you’re looking through an instagram filter that makes your photos look all vintage, except it’s real. Most people think that this part of town is a student-ghetto wasteland. And, make no mistake, they are correct. However, that’s exactly what I like about it. And, make no mistake, I’m weird. But in the most gentrified city on the east coast, to have this neighborhood exist three-quarters of a mile from Fenway Park is astounding. It’s almost like this neighborhood is getting away with something, just by being allowed to look how it’s always looked.

This series is all about meat. It’s meant to be a little gruesome, but is in no way anti-meat. I actually love eating meat, but I think meat is pretty interesting, and it’s very easy not to think about where meat comes from, and what it really is. Thought these came out cool, and again, the last one is favorite. Hope you like it.

This is my first project. I think the filters and effects in the program I used made the metallic aspects of the cans really shine. Narragansett is a cool niche beer brand, with cool typeface, and the nautical theme which gives it a really unusual visual appeal. It’s effortless, which is really what coolness is all about, I guess.
The best part of this project was drinking the Narragansetts afterwards.
These are from my new Nikon D3200, using the basic filters and editing stuff.
PS- The last one is my favorite of the group.
