Common Boston Brightens City Hall

Recently I became involved in a project headed by a group called Common Boston, dedicated to expanding public awareness of the Boston area’s built environment. The project involved photographing certain neighborhoods of Boston in an effort to bring more awareness to those areas. The photos were blown up, mounted with facts about the places they depicted and hung in T stations.

When the poster boards came down, City Hall decided they wanted to display them for a while. If you've been to Boston's City Hall then you know it's not the most warm and inviting building so they could use some art work. I went down to check it out and it seemed like the perfect place for the work to be, bringing some color to those dark hallways!

Once again I think Chris has outdone himself with the holiday market poster. It's bea-utiful!

Cooperation Makes It Happen

Last year I started making my own coasters using ceramic tiles. I loved doing it but never really felt like my waterproofing technique was 100%. I think sometimes it was but sometimes it wasn't and I couldn't really figure out where I was going wrong. Right when I decided to halt production and go back to the drawing board, two things happened- I started collaborating with Boston Coasters and shortly after was contacted by Bill of House of Six Cats about another opportunity.

Bill is the leader of the Photographers of Etsy team and he came up with a great idea- he takes an image submitted by anyone on the team and puts it on ceramic tile coasters. Since he had perfected his coaster-making method already, he thought it would be a fun collaboration and a good way to promote the team.


So far he has 36 coaster sets listed under "Etsy ARTISTS Coasters" in his shop and they are just beautiful. I submitted two designs and love what he's done with them. All of the sets are $20 (a steal if you ask me) and include free shipping. Check them out! Links below:

Happy Friday

Okay, just one more fall-y picture for the weekend. Have a great one!

Fall Has Arrived

Here are a few more pictures from my Saturday visit to Forest Hills Cemetery. October and November are really wonderful times to shoot outdoors; in addition to the leaves changing color, the light is just amazing in the fall, very bright and clear.

2010 Calendars are IN!

Talk about a labor of love! It took a while but I finally finished my brand new 2010 desktop calendar. I used black & white, sepia and color pictures all taken in Boston, even the nature ones. Available in my Etsy shop now!
