Return to Dudley
Five years ago, I photographed a Boston-based basketball tournament. During some down time, I did some personal photography around the neighborhood, and in those moments I found a beautiful mural featuring Boston’s Dudley neighborhood.

In two weeks, every photographer and shutterbug worth his or her salt will be all over these flower beds, looking for that great photo. I didn’t feel like waiting two weeks.

Finally!! Niagara 1970 1995 2016!!
