The Locations I've Photographed

Please support the businesses featured on this site, and please be sure to mention how you heard about them. You have been able to enjoy these photographs because the proprieters of these establishments were kind enough to let me photograph, lugging my view camera, tripod, and other equipment in the midst of where they were trying to serve their customers.

Cafe Budapest, Boston, Massachusetts

Caruso's, Melrose, Massachusetts

Captain Cass, Rock Harbor, Massachusetts

Fairmont Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana

Felicia's, Boston, Massachusetts

Tecce's, Boston, Massachusetts

King Sing, Orange, Massachusetts

Kowloon, Saugus, Massachusetts

Locke-Ober, Boston, Massachusetts

Kay's Lounge, Houston, Texas

And the food is pretty good in all of these places, too.
