Free Range Children

Whenever I bike past this sign on a quiet road in Weston, Massachusetts, it makes me smile. So this week I finally stopped to photograph it. Oddly, though I’ve been up and down this road dozens of times, at every hour of the day, I’ve never seen any children in the area. They must be ranging far and wide.

Whale Rock

Halibut Point in Gloucester, Mass. is a favorite picnic spot of ours, and a great place to watch sunsets. It’s a place where a chaos of boulders tumble from high cliffs down to the sea. This rock looks to me like a petrified whale breaking through the surface.

Upper Crust

This is an old favorite of mine, which I shot on Beacon Hill in Boston in the summer of 2007. Besides the characters on the bench, I like the way the sights through the window and the reflections in the window blend together, especially the disembodied hand holding up a finger in the window on the left.
