Beautiful Boston
I moved to Boston back in January (for muzak school) and having lived in rural areas all of my life, I'm now situated halfway between Fenway Park and the Prudential Center, and my architectural mind has been blown. This is my first time posting images so I apologize if I screw up the linking.
Starting with the familiar, here's Mr. Hancock looking shiny  Mr. Prudential and his plump three year old daughter, 111 Huntington Ave  The formidable skyline...  Old State House in front of a beautiful Darth Vader style box  Quincy Market  Kings Chapel at the end of Beacon Street (P.S. I LOVE sepia!)  Christian Science Campus  and the Mother Church  Some quiet residential streets     View from my apartment after a Red Sox game; Fenway is the source of the bright light in the distance  And here's a few artsy-fartsies for ya     If you like these, I have hundreds more to share.

One camera, a friend's, don't even know the brand, but it's a 3.2 MP. I'm saving up for the Sony CyberShot DCS-W7...it has nothing but great reviews so why not.
Oh and I'll get some more up once I have like another 2 hrs to do the whole damn process, thanks Law. Is it wise to post them in here, or clutter up the board with "part two, part three" type installments?

Oh, and what is up with those two pictures? The Campus shot didn't show from the beginning, there were two of them in my image folder, so I deleted one, now the shot of the church won't show. Oh well I'll just post them again and cross my fingers....
Christian Science Campus  and the Mother Church

Since you're using thumbs instead of full images, post them here.
Gotta be kind to the folks on dial-up.

Alright time to put some life back into this thread.
Welcome to Boston!               Some semi-aerial shots...in this one it looks like Boston extends out forever  That's my school (Berklee) in the center  And now for something completely crazy, check this out -   I call it Staple City since it's a fake city made of - you guessed it - staples. I start out by drawing a fake city grid (loosely based off a real city's) and then I pencil in buildings, starting from the mid 1800s working my way up to the present. Next comes time to actually start placing staples, and again I work up chronologically, watching the city grow. This one is based off of Buffalo - the open area is Niagara Square (city hall is discernible in the bottom right of the second picture), with the main clusters of towers lining Main Street. I don't make cities much since I don't use glue and as a result are very easy to be demolished by the slightest breeze or vibration, but when they're done it's freakin' awesome to have a physical city model to move all around and add or subtract whatever I want. Hooray for low tech toys!

Boston is a beautiful city. I still take NYC over Boston anyday, but Boston is beautiful.

nice photos.....
kz, are you on or near Hemenway? The photos are great. My son was in Boston two years ago and lived along the fenway. He walked into the sox games, around the third or fourth inning. Never paid. I lived in N.E. for five years. Nice experience, but I too prefer to explore NYC. Boston is a great "town." Easy-going, laid back compared to Manhattan. Now that I am back in PA, I thrive on Museum Mile.

ameriKen, I live on Boylston Street in between Hemmenway and Mass Ave. It's practically in the center of everything I need to concern myself with - I love it. Although this big town may be a tad too compact for some, I like how many different feeling neighboorhoods I can access by walking a half hour in any direction. Is it possible to still get into Fenway halfway through the game for free? I'd gladly take up on that, even though I am a Yankees fan (some of my friends would probably shoot me for flirting with the enemy).
Law, the door sound's gotta be a sound effect, most likely used in hundreds of other TV shows and movies before and after it. Today still I'm noticing sound effects in random places that I recognize as being from the original Star Wars movie, and for all I know, they existed for years before that too. Also, expect more photos some time sooooon.
