As I mentioned in my last couple of posts, I spent easter week-end discovering Boston, Massachusetts (how the hell do you spell this thing?!!?). The whole trip was decided in a matter of a few hours and I didn’t have much of a chance to do any extensive research. Enters my friend David Clapp, a fantastic UK-based photographer, whom I knew had visited the city last fall. An email and a 3-hour chat over skype and I was as prepared as could be with tips, info and scouting report all granted generously.

There were a few things that I knew I just couldn’t miss. You have already seen some of the shots I captured from the top of the Prudential Tower. The one thing that was highest on my list was the Stata Center at MIT. This building was designed by my favorite architect: Frank Gehry, so I knew I couldn’t pass it up. Tomorrow, I will be posting some more shots from the place which just oozes with curves, textures and colours, a heaven for abstract photography.

You obviously can’t go to an American city and not attempt at least one cityscape. Boston is surrounded with water and points of view abound for some fabulous views of the downtown core. Here is one taken not too far from a Boston institution for all seafood lovers: The barking crab.

No visit to Beantown is complete without a pilgrimage to see some of its fabled educational institutions. Funny enough, while the Harvard campus didn’t do much to inspire me, the T station was a heck of a lot more entertaining.

Continuing with the T station theme, this one features the MGH station with the reputed Massachusetts General Hospital in the background at twilight. All in all, this was a terrific trip and I highly recommend you visit Boston if you have a chance. Great people, vibrant city, beautiful architecture, awesome food, culture galore, basically everything you would want in a world class city.
