First Light over The Mother Church, Boston

The Mother Church in Boston, also known as the First Church of Christ, Scientist, glowed softly during the early dawn hours.

I shot…

Sunrise at the JFK Library

Chasing sunrise in Boston today, I made my way to the JFK Library, hoping to capture the soft glow of morning over its striking architecture and the surrounding waterfront.

I stopped by the Eustis Estate in Milton recently on a late afternoon, drawn mostly to the mansion and its surrounding grounds.

Sunspilled

Early light poured across the concrete floor of a parking garage in Boston, Massachusetts. I stood there for a while, watching the sunlight stretch and shift between the shadows. Framing it was harder than I expected—there was nothing to anchor the frame, only the feeling that the light was enough.
Black Rock Beach House

While I was photographing the sunrise at Black Rock Beach in Cohasset, this beautiful, modern house immediately drew my attention with its clean, elegant lines. The stark modernity of the architecture stood out against the soft light of dawn. I experimented with color grading to preserve the warm sunrise, contrast it with the cool sky, and add a hint of nostalgia.
