I Like This Photograph of Boston

It's hard for me to take photographs in a city that don't look "touristy". A building, a statue, a garden might be interesting in and of itself but the image stops there. It doesn't speak to the greater urban context it which the subject is found.

This photograph of the reflecting surface of the John Hancock tower was taken from the front edge of Trinity Church looking across the street that runs in front of the Copley Square Hotel. The street light, window grids and one-way sign give an urban angularity to the shot while the facade of the church and the wavy reflections of the buildings along Boylston Street give clues to where you are.
