The Master and the Apprentice

Feb. 2, 2009: Bicycle Bill's employee and welder Arnie Mostowy teaches Allston resident Dan Turner how to weld bicycle frames. The two have been working together on both road and track frames for the past month and a half.

Cafenation

































Feb. 12, 2009: For a pictorial assignment, I took pictures of crepes at Cafenation, a local independent coffee shop/cafe in Brighton. Cafenation provides a variety of savory and sweet crepes, sandwiches and specialty beverages for famished Brightonites or those just paroozing for a snack.
