I spent the first eighteen years of my life living on a farm in the Hudson Valley, which, for those of you who have never been to the area, is absolutely beautiful. Last year however, I started school at Northeastern University in Boston. Life in Boston has been a dose of culture shock, but has been amazing. Every day is an adventure.

This past weekend, the 2010 Berklee Beantown Jazz Festival took place just outside of my apartment building. The festival was loads of fun, with great food, great music, and great candid opportunities.

Gotta love Beantown!

Using photography to pay for engineering school is a bad business plan.

    Really nice stuff. I like #2 and "got color" a lot. I really think you have the perfect level of detail and contrast and the slightly warm processing works for me. Reminds me of Ilford warm tone papers. Too many times in PJ folks go to an extreme with contrast and "grain" to mimic the old films we complained about. Nice job.thumb.gif

    #2 is nice- I'd even crop it tighter around the hat guy and give it that "Tri-X" look with more grain.
