the fake cheers bar (we went to the real one) dark olga light olga admitedly, a crappy picture
really dark olga warning: i would have been bored w/o my camera
three random strangers on a bench some random playing with motion blur
i should say
that at this point i was sitting on the bench with nothing to do but take pictures. so I got interested in motion blur. by cranking up the exposure, things get blurry even during the day and you can control what parts are blurred
and what parts are clear(er) by moving the camera while the film is exposed i was trying to catch two people, socially engaged, to be starkly contrasted in their body language the woman in pink and the man in brown a couple of shots ago were the closest that i got.
just two more americans seem to love american flags
the trip tought me: americans fly a lot of american flags our bedroom at Jenerous Jared's
O and I's room at Jared's house Jared's pad, just moving in
he had just moved in so the place was pretty empty
view from his deck
he lives in brookline nice flag! mini flag spot the flag again, same street! ... Fenway Park! I didn't make a game findlay, but i did the tour.

impressionism from far away it looks real and as you look closer it looks so completely different black really black crazy camera settings 1 (CCS1)
ccs2 ccs3 ccs4 ccs5 to take similar pictures, set the exposure to like 2 seconds the F to let lots of light through and then follow the subject

a boston night! still dark who knows.. abstract art? or wasted bandwidth? trying to get motion blur through window and clear image of interior with (very!) limited success

what is it you've found to see? Jared approaches from the lea confess: I wish it had been me and apparently so does she! foggier and colder we didn't stop there :( tempting though... instead i filled up my memory
card with lots and lots of strange meaningless pictures I was actually practicing spy photography trying to photograph drivers in oncoming vehicles with no success not in this car either...
everyone else ordered nice food up close and saturated i didn't get far with this revolting platter i enjoyed the lemons, and some fries what's the point of having 10 diff't fishes, if they are all deep-fried! much later that night we enjoyed cake and wine back in Jared's kitchen
taking pictures, like a yearbook nerd. enter cake here is some of the furniture that we brought from Jared's neighbour and this is the CS building at MIT it did not fall down once during our visit my fave. and that's it. check ol'ga's page for later pics.
