Yesterday Rae and I spent nearly three hours taking photos in and around the Public Garden. Ostensibly I was posing so that Rae would have a chance to practice using her DSLR, but secretly it was because I am a big ham who loves having her picture taken, no matter how many people are giving me weird looks! I even managed to get Rae in front of the camera a couple of times.
Mostly we went around the Public Garden, where we were in the company of lots of other photographers. Some pros were doing what I assumed were engagement and senior photos. Others were doing weird stuff, like the women who were being approached by a scarily large goose or the students who tied a really long ribbon to a tree. When we got bored of trees and swans, we ventured around Park Plaza, where we found a cute pastry mural, over to the (very reflective) John Hancock tower, by the doors of Trinity Church, and finally to the opposite side of Copley Square in front of the BPL.
I made a slideshow of what I thought were the best shots. There’s definitely a new Facebook profile photo or two in there!
For Science!
