I was in Boston on the day of the shoot. Copley Square with its mix of old and new seems to capture the essence of Boston's Back Bay. At the appointed moment (2:00pm EST) I was set up in front of the Public Library so that I could get one of the Augustus Saint-Gaudens' sculptures in the foreground. Directly across the square, in front of Richardson's Trinity Church, people were lining up for a Christmas carol service. The cleft in Harry Cobb's reflective John Hancock Tower created a column of bright blue in an otherwise dark corner of the square. In front of McKim's Public Library the two o'clock architectural tour was just getting started.
To commemorate the significance of our global synchronized "wrinkle" I drew a clock mask for the pano.
