Welcome to my gallery of Boston photography. Boston is a city of great contrasts - at once resilient and delicate, old and shiny new, blue blood and working class, constantly fluctuating weather and water, timeless architecture and history. Here's some fun trivia: the city has several nicknames. The City on A Hill came from John Winthrop's goal to create the biblical 'City on a Hill'. This nickname also refers to the three original hills of Boston. Beantown referred to the Bostonian merchants' habit for making distinctive baked beans with imported molasses. The Hub is shortened from Oliver Wendell Holmes's phrase The Hub of the Solar System, which is sometimes misquoted as Hub of the Universe (the nickname he applied to the Massachusetts State House). Boston has also been called The Athens of America, so christened by William Tudor for Boston's great cultural and intellectual influence, as well as to the city's role in instigating the American Revolution for which it is also called The Cradle of Liberty. Boston has also been called Puritan City due to the city's founders' being Puritan.
