Boston Panorama

I am in Boston or Bean Town as some say, to be a part of Photoshop World 2009, as some 3,000 photographers, graphic artists, and others, all big fans of the Photoshop software gather for a week of classes, workshops, demos, and fun. This is a panoramic I shot from my room window when I arrived on Monday, showing the St. Charles River in the foreground and the buildings and structures of Cambridge on the other side of the river. If you go to the far right of the pano you can see the famous Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge, which is a thing of beauty (Google it and you can see more). It is the widest suspension bridge of its kind in the world, something like 5 lanes of traffic side by side going each direction. As you move to the left you see the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and then comes Harvard along the way and in the spaces behind the river bank. As you go to the far left you see the famous CITGO sign which is always on and was demanded by baseball fans that it remain glowing across the interstate from Fenway Park, home of the Boston White Socks. It is COLD here...32 and wind speed faster than the temperature when I arrived! I will be inside most all the time, but will go out and do some shooting on Saturday if the weather permits. There sure is lots of history in this town...and some Photoshop history will undoubtedly be made here this week as well.
