"SHELL" showcases a very famous Cambridge landmark in a way it has not been before, and is currently the crowning jewel of a project I am working on that documents the storms of Massachusetts' winter season.

Put up in 1944 and untouched since, this sign has become an architectural icon to the Boston community. Unlike the constantly updating signs of the company itself, this one is never changed and provides a constant contrast between the evolving city & it's vintage-like aura.

With an on-tripod long exposure & the burst of a flash, I was able to simultaneously capture the wide scene itself while also freezing some snow and baking that into the final frame as well. The image strongly depicts what it feels like to be caught in a blizzard in the Boston area, and also strongly displays a piece of the city’s history.

Much like this frame, the long-term winter project will aim to portray together the intensity and beauty of MA’s snowy season.
