At the tail end of my spring break, Babson College asked me to come home early to shoot the basketball team for winning the NCAA D3 Championship at a Celtics game. On the drive home, Chris (@chrisrocco) gave me a call, asking to shoot at a spot right outside of the city.
This spot we had been to before, but we went back in hopes of clouds. Unfortunately, we had clear skies, but there was an enormous glowing cross there, so I decided to mess around with some self-portraiture.
As we were leaving, I realized that I needed gas, and we remembered that there is a Shell station that has an amazing sign that could be great for some pictures. Unfortunately we found out that it was closed, and that we had to look elsewhere to fill up.
After going back to Boston, we decided to shoot near my apartment. I was very happy with the images, but still I wish that we had some clouds to work with.
On a side note, Chris is working with Leica Boston, promoting their Test Drive, where you can take out a Leica SL for a few days to see what it is like. Chris is creating photographs through this program, and if you haven't seen them, make sure to look on @leicacamerausa to see some of his work.
We decided to shoot the shell sign, but we had no idea if it was illuminated all night or not. It was 2:30am and we decided that there was nothing better to do than to go to this spot.
Luckily it was shining bright, creating a really surreal scene.
The temperatures were dropping, and I was too tired to really concentrate, but by some stroke of luck, I was able to capture a few decent shots here. I will be returning in warmer weather, and I really want to shoot some portraits here.
