Northeastern v. Providence College

01.24.09 - The No. 3 Northeastern Huskies played host to Hockey East bottom dwellers, Providence College. After a knock-down-drag-out first period, Northeastern weathered the storm and won 6-3, sweeping the Friars in the weekend series.

Bam!
Ahhh, sweet revenge.
And then a hockey game broke out...

Ryan Ginand had a hat trick for the Huskies. 

More pushing/shoving.

Jogging along the Charles (River Reservoir)

01.23.09 - Chestnut Hill, Mass. - Dropping Dom off at BC for a basketball game, I saw a woman and a cross country skier run along the top tier of the Charles River Reservoir. Looked cool, so on the way back I set my trap and waited for a runner to come by. Didn't quite work out the way I wanted it to (read: no legs, no good), but I like the idea and of course, the layers.

Popeye turns 80

01.17.09 - Watertown, Mass. - I met Popeye expert Fred Grandinetti at his home in Watertown for a portrait on Saturday. The cartoon is turning 80 and everyone wants a quote from Fred. Turned out to be a fairly common photo of him, but I think its the best environmental portrait of the year. 

Arghhhh!

P.S. - Forgot to post for two months. I know you've been waiting with bated breath for my next act following Thanksgiving and I apologize for keeping you on the edge. Perhaps my New Years resolution should have been to keep up with the blog. C'est la vie. 

 

Boston Blazers v. New York Titans

01.17.09 - Boston, Mass. - The Boston Blazers made their much-awaited debut at the TD Banknorth Garden against northeast rival the New York Titans. They were unable to recover from a slow start and dropped the second straight, 13-9. Definitely a crazy, fast game. Hopefully, I'll get to shoot it again soon. 

Fumble on the face-off.

Celebrating a goal. 

Simmons College

01.14.09 - Boston, Mass. - Late in the afternoon on Wednesday I received a call to go find an iconic photo of Simmons College for the Wall Street Journal. Never found it in print or online, but this is what I came up with.

Carson Beach - South Boston

01.09.09 - South Boston, Mass. - A couple of weather features on Carson Beach from a bitterly cold day in Boston. Yes, I like the beach so much I even go when its 10 degrees.

High School Basketball

01.08.09 - Various spots, Mass. - For whatever reason, I shot four high school basketball games in three days this week, three of them girls. Nothing wrong with it, just odd. I also managed to get locked out of my car in Whitman, Mass. after a game (I don't know where it is either but mad props to the Whitman fireman who saved me). All were good games, as far as I can tell. Below are the images.

New Years Eve 2008

12.31.08 - Brookline, Mass. - I like to keep the work and the pleasure separate, but I had too much fun taking pictures on New Years with a 1.8, 50mm lens. Are they spectacular? No, but I did get some good laughs out of them. 

Happy New Year, 

Will

Kidz on Stiltz

12.30.08 - Boston, Mass. - Kids from the Spontaneous Celebrations center in JP practiced salsa dancing on stilts for the First Night Boston 2009. They were dressed like birds. I don't know why, but it was cute.

Quebec!

12.25.08 - Quebec City, Quebec, Canada - The Nunnally clan set new lows (pun intended) for "The coldest I've ever been is..." and we visited the Old World on a three day trip to Quebec over Christmas. The city was awesome, walkable, icy. I ate wayyyyy too much pate (including a creme brulee pate which was AWESOME), raclette (a Nunnally family favorite) and French onion soup. 

Christmas day was highlighted by Osso Bucco, poutine and 5 degree Farehnheit temps. A good time was had by all. In case you're wondering I got stationary for Christmas (actually a great gift and yes, I am old because I thought it was a great gift) and I gave my parents bacon.

Hope yours was just as eventful. 

Au revoir,
