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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

West 35th Street at Night, New York City, originally uploaded by briburt. This shot was an attempt to capture the mood of a New York City Street at night. Of course, this began as a color photo, but as I started playing around with various levels of processing, I quickly realized that the situation almost [...]
Ghost Train on the Longfellow Bridge
Ghost Train on the Longfellow Bridge, originally uploaded by briburt. This was made on an evening that was supposed to be a photowalk in Boston for the Boston Photo Peeps group on Meetup.com, but the meetup was canceled at the last minute because of adverse weather, which was quite disappointing to me. (How often does [...]

Canal with Drawbridge
Canal with Drawbridge, originally uploaded by briburt. This is the canal leading into Seattle’s Hiram M. Chittendon Locks, connecting Puget Sound (salt water) with Lake Union and Lake Washington (both fresh water) via a ship canal. I can bike here in about 10 minutes from my house, so I spent a lot of time down [...]
Seattle Waterfront Streetcar Tracks
Seattle Waterfront Streetcar Tracks Originally uploaded by briburt I used to love to ride the trolley along the Seattle waterfront, but this is all that remains of those times — some abandoned tracks that run the length of Alaskan Way. King County Metro (the transportation organization) claims that service is only temporarily suspended, but I [...]
West Seattle Fishing Pier at Dusk
West Seattle Fishing Pier at Dusk Originally uploaded by briburt OK. I had to post this one to my blog as well. It’s the result of some serious digging into Photomatix Pro for the HDR creation and tonemapping and then Lightroom for final processing. I am simply amazed at what these software tools can do [...]
