TANGENT: for the life of me I don't understand how things went from my 2016 iPhone SE having perfectly fine if slightly dull colors, to my 2021 iPhone 12 being downright atrocious in most outdoor situations. Apple had to go out of their way to design that color profile from scratch and then say...

I'll bet $20 it's an iPhone shot. Speaking from personal experience, the recent iPhone's color profile is waaayyy too blue-green in most outdoor situations and I notice it every time I use mine.

I absolutely fell in love with this house the more I got to know it. This is a 1987 Maine post and beam with some telltale postmodernist touches here and there (mainly in the bathrooms). The layout is still quite modern, the build quality was impeccable and it's yours for a cool $1.85 mil...

Friday from JP

Another vintage book to share... "Boston" by Bill Harris from 1980. I saw that fat '70s Souvenir font on the homeowner's shelf (I was working my real estate job) and had to have a quick look. Pardon my fingers but the pages weren't staying flat

Dorchester Ave being a public right of way that is also very much off-limits federal property sums up the so-close-yet-so-far vibes of that area perfectly. Every time I'm sitting at a red light at Summer and Dorchester I see that road and think "oh that looks like it could go somewhere cool." Alas.

Saw a Storrowing in action today! No visible impact damage but the outbound lanes were blocked and the truck was facing the wrong direction. I passed these along to adamg at Universal Hub and he responded immediately so you should see these over there too. I'd have to rate this a 6.5 out of 10...

Another roof deck, this time from 300 Commercial Street in the North End

Yes, pretty much! It's a standalone structure from 2008, so it missed its chance to get bedecked and bejeweled in all sorts of overstuffed frippery :p

Shot a condo on the edge of Roxbury Friday. A nice appealing ground level space except for the fact it's just this one room AND all the wastewater pipes from the upper floors are right there along the ceiling, so you hear every sink/shower/toilet doing its thing :poop: The full set...

Friday

Gonna try something a little different. I decided to look back at my photos from exactly 10 years ago and realized it might be a bit fun to recall some of the construction happening back around August-September 2014. Given how the pace of development has only ballooned in the intervening years...

Last day, let's start off with one of my favorite pieces of postmodernism, Helmut Jahn's 500 West Madison It's weird but I think it falls into the "good weird" category Then we made our way to Oak Park and its Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District And finally we're back...
