Baby ducks, geese and swans
These are just a few moments in the lives of three of the dozens of family groups of mallard ducks, Canadian geese and Mute swans along the shores of the Esplanade and the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. These snippets were taken in May, 2021, at the height of the birthing season.

Skating on The Frog Pond

Just happened to be walking by the Frog Pond in January, 2020 and captured a few happy pre-pandemic seconds. I don't know anyone who is pictured, but I would like to say thank you for a happy memory. Emelda couldn't be there but she would have loved the sight.
Canal barge going under drawbridge
Переглядів 1404 роки тому
I was out for a run and was stopped by a raised drawbridge on Charles River Dam Road near the Museum of Science. I figured I might as well make use of the time and shot this video of a barge passing through the canal and under the bridge. I suspect the equipment was headed for the major Green Line E branch reconstruction site on the other side of the canal. Emelda couldn't be there but she woul...

This was an improv performance of Yosi Karahashi's flamenco class to kick off the The Dance Complex's "The Festival, You, Me, We & Them" in front of their building at 536 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts on June 21, 2019. Wonderful music was provided by local legends Haidee, Dave, Bill, Leah and Matt of Double Star. Emelda couldn't make it, but she would have danced for sure.
Gosling Swim Charles River Boston

A simple 90-second video of a family of Canada geese enjoying the Charles River near the Boston side of the Mass Ave Bridge. Note how Papa Goose makes sure all the babies are accounted for before entering the water himself. Emelda couldn't be there, but she would have loved them.
Windscape, Cambridge Science Festival, April, 2019

I am just a spectator who recorded the way I visualized this art installation. The following appeared on a placard in front of "Winsscspe." I approve of its message: "This installation showcases the beauty of wind and its power to generate energy. Our intent with this installation is to bring attention to the growing urgency to harness wind as a power supply, while presenting a visual metaphor ...
Winter Wonderland by Cello Ensemble at MIT
Переглядів 1016 років тому
I was cutting through the lobby that faces Killian Court at MIT on December 17, 2018, and caught the last song this group of celloists was performing, "Winter Wonderland." I attempted to find out the correct name of the ensemble and was told by one of the musicians that it was just the cello group. I called the Music and Theater Arts program in the MIT School of Humanities, Arts and Social Scie...
The MIT Museum's Friday After Thanksgiving Chain Reaction 2018
Переглядів 2226 років тому
This video is NOT of the Chain Reaction itself, but rather only shows the last minute preparations, from about 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm, leading up to the one-of-a-kind engineering tour de force finale. It is an amateur video. Its intention is to convey admiration for all those who made this 21rst annual event happen. And especially to acknowledge all those who spent many spare hours locked away in t...

The Crossing
Переглядів 56 років тому
In Memory of Sena Spring Sloan, July 3, 1991 - July 3, 2018. I only met her once, three years ago near MIT, but that memory now haunts me. She was an earth angel, way too young, way too vibrant and inspiring to pass the way she chose. I wish I had something profound to say to the others left behind, but I don't.

A Visit to the Telephone Museum
Переглядів 2686 років тому
The Telephone Museum is located in historic downtown Waltham, Massachusetts, once a manutacruring powerhouse, now a Boston suburb. The museum is one large room that absolutely teems with telephone history, nostalgia, innovation and wonder. The exhibits themselves are hands-off, but there is as much to do for visitors as there is to see. It is clear that this space is a labor of love. This slide...

I was out for a run and came across this diverse group of weekend warriors literally walking the talk in the fight against cancer by participating in the Mass General Cancer Center Eversource Everyday Amazing Race on the Charles River Esplanade. This video is not a complete record of the event, just my tiny acknowledgment of their giant effort. Emelda couldn't make it, but would have loved it.

The MIT Museum's wonderful collection of robotics, photographs and sculpture totally eradicates the line between science and art. It is located near the main MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Earth, and is a worthwhile visit for everyone of any age, no matter how far you have to come.

great my friend you share a good one good luck always to you, nice to meet you.....Sub here
hello! i was one of the cellists in the video :) this was mainly organized by the cellists of the mit symphony orchestra, and we and some of our non-mitso friends informally gathered in lobby 10 that day to spread some holiday cheer during finals season. we're really happy that our music reached so many people! on behalf of all of us, thank you so much for recording and producing this video, and stay tuned for more of us in the future!
Thank you for finding the video! You and your fellow talented musicians did indeed brighten that day and many days beyond although your identities, despite my best investigative efforts, were a mystery until just now. . I look forward to more serendipitous encounters. Play on! Lenek Adams.
Thank you so much for recording, editing, and posting this parade recap! I was incredibly disappointed to miss most of Honk! this year. The percussion group @13:04 is fantastic - do you know their name?
google Marcus Santos! Brazilian percussionist and educator.
