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 [...]
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.

Steam Grate – New Year’s Eve 2009, Boston Common, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo).

Solitary Man
Solitary Man, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). This is an evening shot taken on the Charles River near the Harvard Bridge and MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. It is a fairly long exposure, and I was lucky the guy on the bench didn’t move a muscle the whole time.

Sunset Walk on Kalaloch Beach
Sunset Walk on Kalaloch Beach Originally uploaded by briburt Had a lot of good light out at Kalaloch on the Olympic Peninsula. It’s quite a dramatic place no matter what the weather, and I tried to capture this feeling in all of the photos I took on Kalaloch Beach, Beach 4, and Ruby Beach. This [...]
