Every winter I ask myself, why do I live in Boston? Why do I put up with the miserable weather? Then this happens–spring arrives and I remember why. As Boston comes to life, I start remembering the values of four distinct seasons. How I need to struggle through the erratic New England weather to appreciate …

I shot these at the Boston Public Library. In addition to having beautiful architecture to house its book, the library also has breathtaking art, like the sculpture in its courtyard, “Dancing Bacchante with an Infant Faun” by Frederick William. Incidentally, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston has one too. Thanks for stopping by today.    

This post is part of my “I’m a tourist, so can you” series. In this series I see a city I’ve called home for more than two decades with new eyes. Ones that have a camera in front of them. This time I’m at the New England Aquarium.          

Hi, I’m Ayaan. I’m three days old and weigh 6lbs, 14oz. Some say I’m quite tall (19.5 inches) for a boy of my age. Here are a few recent photos of me at the hospital. Hope you like them. I’m also in a movie. Thanks for visiting. -Ayaan

Last week I went to the zoo. I’ve lived in Boston for more than twenty years now and have never been to the zoo here. So on a perfectly warm spring day I decided to set things right and went to the Franklin Park Zoo. The day wasn’t without its challenges. For one thing the …

Last year I put together a list of Top 8 Artists of 2010. This year’s list recognizes photographers. Some are some of the nicest people on earth, with impeccable skills with a body of work that rivals any paintings. What makes these photographers special is their dedication to their craft, the passion that comes out …

I’ve been flying through Dubai for many years now. It’s a popular transit hub for anyone going from west to east. Last year was the first time I went and checked out the city. My cousin works there now. Since it’s always good to know a local, I decided this was the time to visit. …
