I will be going to Boston for a few days at the end of next week. It will be nice to catch up with my family and friends and do a lot of US based shopping. I have a long shopping list as it has been a while since I was stateside.
When I travel I like to hold photowalks in the city I am in and this time will be no different. I have held past photowalks in Tokyo, Beijing, Singapore, Hong Kong and another in Boston last year. I will be holding a photowalk this coming Sunday May 27th in Boston.

I always get a good crowd of people and make some new friends. If you haven’t been to a photowalk before it is a great opportunity to get out and socialize with like minded people. If you an experienced photographer you can share what you know. If you are just learning, then there will be lots of people to learn from. Photographers of all levels are welcome.
When: Sunday May 27th, 2012
Time: 1 PM
Where: Meet at Copp’s Hill Burying Ground in the North End (on the Freedom Trail). We will walk through North End, Haymarket, Fanuel Hall, Chinatown and end in Copley. Late in the afternoon we will stop off for some food, drink and shop talk probably near Copley.
Gear: Pack whatever you are comfortable shooting with. Remember, the more gear you carry the less photographs you actually take. We will be walking so don’t pack too heavy. I’ll be shooting my Leica M9-P, a Noctilux 50mm f/0.95, Summilux 35mm f/1.4, Summilux 21mm f/1.4. A Leica M3 Film Camera with a 28mm f/2.0.
If you are interested in joining please leave a comment below so I have your email address as I will be sending out some email updates as we get closer. If you are bringing people, please make sure to mention how many.
Here are some of my favoriate shots from last year’s Boston Photowalk.

We will walk…
“Real women in Boston carry their own six pack on the T…”
We will ride the train… Meet Happy John.
If you haven’t been following ShootTokyo for a while…natural disasters tend to follow me around. Earthquakes, Flash Floods, Hurricanes and Typhoons. Last time we got rained out a bit. I checked the weather and it looks OK for Sunday…what could possibly go wrong?
…and my favorite image from the day. I have had ‘captioning contests’ with this image.
My friend John Correa made a great video of the photowalk for us…
Thanks for stopping by today… I hope you can make it on Sunday!
Dave good to meet you and the others. Thanks for arranging the walk. Perfect day – Great group. Sorry I could not tag along longer.
There’s a massive soccer tournament going on this weekend in the Boston suburbs. It’s so big, that fields from at least 5 towns are being used for the games. While I’d like to do the photo walk, the soccer draw is pulling me in. Can you leave a note here or on G+ where you folks may land to get a bit to eat? If you could be post a note about 1/2 before you land at a restaurant, maybe others can at least join too. Thanks!
Great. See you at 1PM Laura…
I will be tagging along with Deanna and Caiti.
See you on Sunday JS…
LaDonna – I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. We will be thinking about you and your family on Sunday. I hope we can meet some day.
Dave….unfortunately my Dad passed this evening…so I will be traveling to MN on Sunday….someday, I WILL go on one of your photo walks.

It looks like I’ll be able to make it. See you Sunday.
Nolan – Of course…feel free.
YES!!!! dave, i’m so excited and inspired you. Your wide angle covering is looking nice.
My wife and I are new to photography and we’re eager to learn. Mind if we tag along?
Arrgh! Dave, I am from the Boston area, and I too live elsewhere. Albeit not as far away as you. I keep missing your Boston photo walks by hours. This time I will be in Littleton, NH while you all are photo walking.
I suppose it will have to be next time.
sooo….it turns out the Downeaster is going to get me into town about 2 hours early…..anyone want to hang out before the photowalk?
sounds fun !!!

Looking forward to it.
Sounds great. I’ll be there.
I love Boston and work in the city a few days a week but never really had much time to explore with my camera. I’m usually a seascape photographer but would love to break out of my zone for a Boston Photowalk !!! Looks great

Nice route selection Dave. I will be there. And please leave the natural disasters in Japan this time. I am looking forward to chatting about Leica stuff. – Greg
