[084/365] – Hancock Building

Hancock Building

Today I had a 2 hour Italian lesson with a tutor at the Boston Public Library. I was excited to get into Boston so I could take some photos of some new and different subjects.

I took a bunch of new shots before heading to the front of the library to wait for my tutor to arrive. This was my first lesson, so I didn’t even know what she looked like, luckily she found me, and we went into the library. It was great to start using my italian knowledge again, it’s SO rusty however. I kept making so many mistakes, things I used to just know.

This shot of the Hancock Building was taken just before heading to the library, but I really really like it. The background of the building is good, a nice gray gradient. The glass has a great shine to it. I’m really happy with this shot.

If you want to know more about the building, http://www.galinsky.com/buildings/hancockboston/index.htm is a good link. For instance, there was a huge issue when it was first put up, that the glass plates would fall off sometimes. That hasn’t happened since the 1970′s but it certainly was scary. Now all the windows are securely in place.
