Ed Spadoni > The North End of Boston 1/31/2010 From Wikipedia: Boston's North End is the city's oldest residential community, where people have lived continuously since it was settled in the 1630s. Though small (⅓ mi²), the neighborhood has approximately 100 eating establishments, and a variety of tourist attractions. It is known as the city's Little Italy for its Italian-American population. The Old North Church (the white steeple seen in the center of this image), at 193 Salem Street, in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts, is the location from which the famous "One if by land, and two if by sea" signal is said to have been sent. This phrase is related to Paul Revere's midnight ride, of April 18, 1775, which preceded the Battles of Lexington and Concord during the American Revolution.

Ed Spadoni > The Lieutenant William F. Callahan Tunnel... 2/3/2010 ... is one of three tunnels beneath Boston Harbor in Boston, Massachusetts. It carries motor vehicles from the North End to Logan International Airport. The tunnel was opened in 1961. It was named for the son of Turnpike chairman William F. Callahan, who was killed in Italy just days before the end of World War II. Operatic Tenor, William Flavin, of Milton Mass. sang the Star Spangled Banner and Oh Danny Boy at the opening of the Callahan Tunnel in 1961. [Wikipedia]
Ed Spadoni > "Do not Fear the Flash!" 01/02/2010 That's my New Year's resolution. So I am reading a book on the Nikon Creative Lighting System, which some say is the best portable lighting system in the world (!). Here is my first attempt at off-camera flash. Other shots can be seen here: http://bit.ly/6vOIk5 I have a long way to go but I am beginning to appreciate the value of the system and "getting the flash off the darn camera" as Rick Sammon would say. Feedback welcome. Thanks. Off camera SB 600 flash, Nikon 35mm lens Also - please note about today's date: "Thoreau never had one during his lifetime. Neither did George Washington nor Albert Einstein. Today in the United States, which uses the month/day/year format for dates, there is a rare chance to celebrate a palindrome date - 01/02/2010 - which reads the same forward as it does backward."

Ed Spadoni > "99 bottles of... oh, never mind" 2/2/2010 Thanks for all the comments on yesterday's "traffic". No, not my collection, but those cars were all on sale at a kiosk in Boston. I couldn't help but think of the morning commute!
Ed Spadoni > H.A. Hovey Co. 2/4/2010 These signs are hung inside the Great Rotunda of Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston. I did some research of H.A. Hovey Co. and found: The earliest reference I found was of Horatio Atwell Hovey who was born in 1820 and "worked for several years in the butter trade in his father's stall in the Faneuil Hall market... and at 21 became a partner with his father." [Google Books] The latest reference was this: Varnum Russell Mead, retired owner of H. A. Hovey Co. of Boston and Cambridge, died Dec. 18 [2006] after suffering a fall near his home on Martha's Vineyard. Following World War II, Mr. Mead went into business with his late father, Francis V. Mead, at H.A. Hovey Co. located next door to Durgin Park in the Quincy Market. Mr. Mead sold his business and retired in 1984. [The Martha's Vineyard Times, posted Dec. 18, 2006.]
