I lived in Boston for about a year and a half but took these photos on my first visit to the city while I was still living in Maryland. Most of them were taken at Mount Auburn Cemetery, which is prettier than any park in Boston and provides a great view of the city. These photos were taken with an SX-70 camera using expired Polaroid film, which accounts for the eerie, ghost-like flares in the photographs. Its fitting too - Edwin Land, the inventor of Polaroid film, was buried in this cemetery.
