Storm Front & Light Trails
Storm Front & Light Trails, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). Well… so finally I’m getting around to saying a little something about this photo, which seems to have taken on a life of its own on Flickr.com, having somehow attained, and held, the rank of #1 most “interesting” photo on Flickr Explore for [...]

Marshall Point Lighthouse – Port Clyde, Maine
Marshall Point Lighthouse, Maine, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). When we took a mini-vacation up to the Maine coast a couple of months ago, I made a point to seek out as many lighthouses as I could to photograph. This one is Marshall Point Lighthouse near Port Clyde, Maine, and is quite interesting [...]

This is a night shot of the "Great Dome" and columns of Building 10 (The Maclaurin Building) on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as seen from the south side of Memorial Drive. The red and orange-ish/white [...]

Children in Rings Fountain – Boston
Children in Rings Fountain – Boston, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). These are some children having fun in Rings Fountain, part of the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, which, as part of the Big Dig project, replaced a truly hideous elevated freeway that sliced through the heart of Boston. This is part of the [...]

Pemaquid Point Light Station – Bristol, Maine
Pemaquid Point Lighthouse – Bristol, Maine, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). Took a needed break from the daily grind and headed up to the mid-coast of Maine with my family last weekend and decided it was time to check out some of the lighthouses that dot that part of the New England coast.

The Steamboat “M/V Samuel Clemens,” Boston Harbor
The Steamboat "M/V Samuel Clemens," Boston Harbor, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). The 72-foot, 3-deck ship is run by Massachusetts Bay Lines and is a replica of an old-time steamboat. It actually does not use steam for power, though it does use a paddlewheel. I saw this vessel from a distance while wandering [...]

Boston Skyline and Two Bridges
Boston Skyline and Two Bridges, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). Another shot of the Boston skyline taken from the Moakley Bridge (which is the bridge with the blue lights on the left) over the Fort Point Channel. I was standing on one of the small viewing platforms they’ve built for pedestrians right over [...]

Moakley Bridge and Boston Skyline at Dusk
Moakley Bridge and Boston Skyline at Dusk, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). Another dusk shot of the Moakley Bridge in Boston bathed in that wonderful blue light that I love so much. Don’t know why they have the blue floodlights on the bridge, but it certainly does catch my eye when I’m there.

Red Line Sign
Red Line Sign, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). Taken on the commuter rail platform at the MBTA’s Porter Square station in Cambridge, MA. This was at the end of an afternoon-long photowalk wandering around Cambridge, near MIT and the Charles River, on which I was feeling a bit down on myself about my [...]

Red Line, White Coat
Red Line, White Coat, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). A shot of a random commuter waiting for an an MBTA Red Line train taken on the platform at Alewife Station in Cambridge, MA, with my iPhone camera. There’s something about this shot that I find appealing, but I can’t quite put my finger [...]

Boat and Boston Skyline
Boat and Boston Skyline, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). Taken on the Cambridge side of the Charles River near the MIT boathouse while I was just wandering around and wondering if I really should be doing this whole photography thing.

Red Line at Kendall Square / MIT
Red Line at Kendall Square / MIT, originally uploaded by briburt. Content I’ve always loved subways — the play of dark and light, the lines and constant comings and goings, the rushing motion of the trains — and since I’ve moved to the Boston area, I’ve enjoyed exploring the MBTA’s “T” system to capture some [...]

Red Line at Porter Square Station
Red Line at Porter Square Station, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). Thought I’d try out Chase Jarvis’s Best Camera app on my iPhone and put it through its paces now that the app can post directly to Flickr. I think he’s right: the best camera is the one you have with you. This [...]

Rose recreated one of [...]

Steam Grate – New Year’s Eve 2009, Boston Common
Steam Grate – New Year’s Eve 2009, Boston Common, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). This is a shot of some people milling about in the warm steam rising up from a grating behind the ice skating rink on Boston Common. I liked the sort of eerie, ghostly feel the scene had and tried [...]

Blue Fireworks – New Year’s Eve 2009, Boston Common
Blue Fireworks – New Year’s Eve 2009, Boston Common, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). We went down to some of Boston’s “First Night” celebrations on and around the Boston Common on New Year’s Eve this year (or I guess I should say “last year,” as it was still 2009). The weather was (relatively) [...]

Waiting for the Red Line Train – Harvard Square
Waiting for the Red Line Train – Harvard Square, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). Cambridge, Massachusetts I liked the lines and curves in this shot, together with the contrast between the motion of the train and the stasis of the two women standing and waiting for it.

Waiting for the Train to New York
Waiting for the Train to New York, originally uploaded by briburt. Update: Just learned that this shot is featured as Photo of the Day for 8 December 2009 on Bostonist.com. I don’t know what’s gotten into me lately, but I find myself increasingly drawn to black and white photography, especially b/w processing that evokes a [...]

Sunset over Cambridge
Sunset over Cambridge, originally uploaded by briburt. Sunset over Cambridge, Massachusetts, that is. A panoramic shot that also includes the Longfellow Bridge & Charles River — plus a couple of sailboats heading back to the MIT marina. I struggled mightily to get the exposure correct on this one, as the sun is generally known to [...]
