Amazing New Timelapse of Boston

I just saw this on Fox News in Boston this morning and had to put it on my blog. I always love a good timelapse video and have posted a bunch on my site already. This was done by a guy named Sean Collins and there is more info about his video on Boston Magazine. He used a lot of unique angles although I could do without some of the agressive HDR shots. Enjoy!

Memorial Day Charles River Boat Ride

After a pretty dismal weekend, Memorial Day turned out to be a beautiful day. I was happy to get a message from my friend asking if I wanted to go on his boat for a little cruise from the harbor to the Charles. I’ve actually never been through the lock system so it was a bit of a treat to do both.

Here are a few of the pics I took.

One of the Best Lofts in Boston!! Right on Winthrop Square

One Of a Kind Loft in Charlestown

 

If you are looking for a one of a kind loft in Boston, you have come to the right place. I shot this amazing loft yesterday and immediately fell in love. The exposed beams, the reclaimed pine floors, the open layout and the attention to detail, all make this one of my top 10 favorite homes in Boston. This is one of those places that will make you move to Charlestown even if you weren’t considering it before.

The History of this building is also absolutely amazing. This was the old training field school which was relocated across the street and overlooks the field it was once situated. A Bit of the History can be read here, and the park used to be an old training field for colonial militia.

The bottom line is someone I know needs to buy this!!  It’s 2200sf. 3 beds, 2.5 baths  and an office. The bedrooms are huge and the layout is perfect. The bedroom has views of the city and of the masts of the US Constitution.

Price… 1.2 Million

Here are the pics, and if you know someone who is looking for something like this, Give me a call.

Latest Photo Shoot… Comm Ave 2.5 bed in Allston

Today I went to Allston to Shoot a great 2.5/3 bed right on Comm Ave. It was in my old stomping grounds and brought back some great memories of the year and a half I lived in the area. This was a large unit all on one level and had a really nice open layout. The living room was large and the dining room is huge, big enough to turn into a legitimate 3rd bedroom if you want. The kitchen is renovated and has plenty of space to make it a fully functional eat in kitchen as well. The hallways add to the spaciousness and creates a nice flow to all the rooms in the condo. I was told the square footage was around 1200sf and the price will be in the neighborhood of $450k, but I can confirm that at a later time.

Here are the Pics.

Walk around Boston. See What makes It Beautiful!

If you are in Boston today, I know you wont be able to stop yourself from going to Boylston Street. So many police, so many guards, so much media, so bizarre. Go there, check it out, but leave. Thats not what Boston is about and the people who did this want you to go see their destruction and chaos. Walk away, go two blocks the other direction. It’s a glorious day in Boston and hands down the best of the year. See what makes this city beautiful and go enjoy what makes this place great. Take your mind off the media and yes, I hope that they really do have a suspect in custody.
