It wouldn't be New Year's Eve in Boston without snow. It's happened to us the last several years we've come up here to party with my college roommate, our parents, and dozens of friends. Thankfully, this year's burst was compressed to about a three-hour window from the late morning to mid-afternoon, and hopefully we'll have nothing more the rest of the day.
My college roommate married his partner in Boston the day Ted Kennedy was laid to rest. We had to dodge the closed streets around the Westin on Friday night with all the presidents spending the night there, and we had to dodge the raindrops on Saturday. But when it was all said and done, it was a grand yet intimate celebration at the Boston Public Library.
Here, they welcome the guests on the landing of the entry hall, standing on the spot where they were later married.
At the Garrison Square Apartments, Boston. I looked up after laying down on a slate wall to relax while waiting for Casey to come back with the key to our guest suite.
It only took two days into the New Year and my photo a day resolution to get to the point where I shot just one subject and let that stand as my shot of the day. (We're still awaiting the first instance of "taking a picture just to fulfill the daily quota," however, because I would've taken this photo based on the dilapidated building under any circumstances. But I'm also not sure I would've had the camera in the front console of the car, ready to grab and take a quick shot, had I not set this ambitious goal for myself this year. So it's already paying off.
We were getting gas at a Sunoco station on Tremont St. in Boston's South End and I looked across the road at this boarded-up building on the corner of Tremont and Northampton St. I couldn't find much on these former stores online, though another Flickr user doesn't think Fred & Emma's has been open for some time. I'll have to ask Bryan if he knows anything about it, but he's only lived in the neighborhood for a little more than a year.
