Jenn Martinelli Blogging in Boston

The Westin.

Not sure exactly what was happening and I probably don't really care, but there was a big crowd yesterday evening at Tia's. It occurred to us that from this angle it would make a pretty cool tilt-shift photo and it did! Thanks, Instagram!

I'm semi-obsessed with tilt-shift photos and video so I made a category for it special on my blog. I will plan to post fun pics like these often.

I'm dying to organize our tens of thousands of photos so as a reminder to myself, here are some recent interesting pics.

First, on August 9, 2010 East Boston had a power outage. I took the below pic from our roof. The entirely black foreground is Eastie. That's downtown Boston glowing brightly in the background. Eff you, Boston!

So we have roughly a zillion photos to organize but I just downloaded what's on our camera now and found this pretty cute picture of Molly, so I wanted to share it.

Here is a quick example of why - this is Billy from our last big road trip with him last summer, in August. This is on a small scenic little pier on Lake Ontario in New York.

Here's hoping we can start getting this stuff organized soon. We have tons of photos I'd like to share.

OK, here are just a few from our Maine trip, since I'm on a roll...

Me and Billy!

I could have sworn this was called Misty Harbor but I can't find anything called that on the map. If that wasn't the name of the Harbor it was the name of a road or something right there because the point of this photo was it was supposed to be of a nice view of the coast and ocean but there was too much fog to see anything, and I had just seen the sign saying Misty Harbor or Misty Harbor Road or something.

We were frustrated because we were supposedly on a scenic drive, but saw no scenery!

Here are just a few. I also have to put up all my photos from my family's visit, and pics from last weekend when robreed and I took Billy to Maine!

Hester is super excited about the ocean!

Thanks for having me, Clementine and Hashbrown! It was great to hang out and relax, very fun to spend so much time with you, and of course so great to spend so much time with Hester!

So my parents were in town this weekend and we had some fun times with Dan and also Clementine, Hashbrown and Hester.

Here are some photos to whet your appetite. I am still going through them and will post the whole collection once they are organized.

And of course, Hester!

Click on the photo of Hester to check out my photos from my trip out to Northampton for my 10-year reunion a couple of weeks ago. (This was in Washburn House, which Clementine, Hashbrown and Hester and I visited early in our Reunion festivities... much to Hashbrown's boredom and my and Clementine's geeky delight!)
