Street photography is fickle. Some days you come home with a basket full of jewels, and others you have nothing but garbage. Being skilled at the art increases your chances, but sometimes it just isn't there. Location can make a difference, but it is no guarantee. A high density of diverse population is the ideal setting but the experienced Streeter can find art anywhere. On some rare occasions everything clicks and potential scenarios for art just roll out in front of you over and over.
One such day occurred for me in September of 2013. It was my first day in Boston Massachusetts with the sole agenda of shooting Street. I wouldn't say that I knew the city well, but I did know where people were guaranteed to be. Over the next several hours I would have the opportunity to make some of my best Street Photography to date. Some of the shots were easy while others required all of the meager skills that I possessed. You never know for sure what you have until you get home, but I felt in "the zone".

As the hours passed I barely thought about anything, including photography. I didn't stop for anything, I never do. I don't eat, I don't drink, and I only heed the call of nature when it is absolutely essential. I didn't have a plan as I rolled through the core of the city. In and out of the subway system, through parks and markets, into the North End and down to Chinatown.

Keeps Getting Better
The past couple of months have been great! I'll spare most of the details, but suffice to say that my plans regarding work and life in general have been working out very well. Now this, my seventh Daily Deviation! These never get old, and I am just as honored by the seventh as I was by the first. I must extend gratitude to the two dear friends (one of whom I've actually met!), Jan Rockar http://lightdrafter.deviantart.com/, and Houman http://hosagu.deviantart.com/ for making this most recent Daily Deviation happen. Thanks guys, you are special!
Perfect End
It was the perfect end to an already great day. Having risen early, accompanied by my best friend (my wife), I made the long drive to make a second attempt to climb Ute Mountain. We had been thwarted by bad road conditions on an earlier attempt to climb this isolated, and seldom summited volcano in the high desert of Northern New Mexico. There are no trails up this mountain, so route finding is a challenge and bushwhacking is the norm. At 10,093 feet Ute is not a particularly significant climb, nor is it technically challenging. What makes this climb special is the prominence of this former fire spewing peak relative to the surrounding isola
