kz's Wanderings Around Greater Boston

The pizza place photo is an album cover. Wow.

That's in my town! Just a perfectly preserved 1970s pizza parlor. There's just benches behind where I'm standing in that shot but if this were the '90s there probably would've been some arcade games back there, maybe a Galaga and a Donkey Kong. One can imagine!

Always wanted to shoot Sacred Heart in large format, but it's so hard to get a good angle on it. That's about as good as it gets!

That was such a hastily taken shot, waiting to turn left there and very quickly swapping lenses to the ultra wide architectural one. This is totally one of those buildings I've been trying to get a good shot of for years but am always just driving by and caught off guard by it. Literally one decent shot of it in 5+ years

Continuing with May...

^^ Windows XP Bliss anyone?

I know what you mean. I have a friend who lives in West Newton and I drive through there all the time and think about it every time I see it. The utility lines through the intersection are incredibly obtrusive there, and the building being on a slight rise is impressive, but makes it hard to get a good angle. I've sometimes pondered trying to get permission to get up on the roof of the old filling station/garage across the street, but it is exceedingly unlikely I'll ever get around to it. But you never know!

Speaking of that old garage, I took this right before the church shot, being blinded by the Cybertruck in the lane right next to me. Bonus rando Waltham pic!
