The town of Northampton in Massachusetts held its 14th annual Ice Art festival on January 18, 2025. Amazing ice sculptures created by local artists were on display throughout downtown Northampton. Here are a few of these sculptures that I photographed while walking around town during late afternoon on that day.   Image 1: Snack Time        Image 2: Snack Time     Image 3: Snack Time     Image 4: Eagle & Wild Caught Salmon     Image 5: Dog To The Rescue Image 6: New King Of The Coop Image 7: Moana Image 8: The Jungle Book Tiger Chasing A Rabbit Image 9: The Jungle Book Tiger Chasing A Rabbit Image 10: The Jungle Book Tiger Chasing A Rabbit Image 11: Peace Image 12: Ice Gnome Image 13: Magical Woman [ If you would like to purchase high resolution prints of any of these images, please contact me using the form below.

The Boston Regatta started in 1965, and is the largest 3-day regatta in the world. It brings thousands of rowers each year to the Charles River to compete in the largest 3-day event.  This year (2021), more than 11,000 rowers from around compete during October 22-24. The Regatta was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic, but it back in 2021 bigger and better! I went top see the event on Sunday, October 24.

This was my first time attending the Octoberfest at Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts on Sunday October 11, 2015 and it was a blast! Incredible music, wonderful diversity of food, and lots of arts and craft booths - all in one place and all for free. The weather was just perfect too and I was surrounded by happy people with positive spirits all around me. I could not have picked a better place to spend my Sunday at. I mostly gravitated toward music during the day, I hope to give you a visual tour of the music scene at the fest. Hopefully it will inspire you to attend the fest in the future if you happen to be in the area. The events were just outside the campus of historic Harvard University. The easiest way to get there is by the Boston T (underground train). Get off the Harvard Square station and you will be right in the middle of everything!    This is the scene I was presented with as soon as I came out of the T-station. The Harvard University building in the bac...

by Pranab Banerjee Photography I have never photographed a marathon event before and I thought it would be fun to create a photo-journal for the 2011 Top of Utah Marathon  that took place on September 17, 2011 right here in Cache Valley, where I live. My initial plan was to start taking photos starting at about the 14 miles mark where vehicle traffic was allowed that day. But it ended up being a rainy morning when the race started at 7 AM. So I decided to stay home till the rain stopped and not to risk my camera gear getting wet, as I do not have waterproof housing for my camera. I have never bothered to get one since I do not normally do any photography in rainy conditions. After the rain stopped, I managed to drive up to Providence near the 20 miles mark around 9:30 AM, and took my first set of photos of the marathon. I then stopped at Riverheights at 22 miles mark to take a few shots, and finally ended up at the finish line to capture more images. Here is a set of photos fr...
