Right now I am working on photographing the unique styles of architecture specified in certain areas of Boston. For example, in Roslindale, my home borough, there are a slew of 1950's houses. These 1950's houses are the typical housing style of Roslindale. Recently I went to Beacon Hill and took some black and white photos of the homes there. The style there is flat red brick with black shutters. It is not very interesting, but the variations that have been put on the buildings by people make the place a lot more pleasing to the eye. There are some buildings that have the iron like protrusions jetting out from the mundane brick that truly contrast all the reds of the bricks. I am planning on getting to Dorchester to photograph the triple-decker style homes.
