Sometimes the ocean calls...
This afternoon I was driving south on 1A after a meeting and realized I was mere blocks from the sea. Naturally, I made an abrupt left turn towards the shore and enjoyed a brief walk. The beach is beautiful all year, even in below freezing temperatures...

| My brief rendezvous at the beach was especially perfect because I parked across from this baby. |
All photos were taken with my cellphone.

"Telephone Relics" covered by Boston.com
The following review of my upcoming show, Telephone Relics, was taken from this website-- Boston.com's Allston Brighton news: http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/allston_brighton/2012/10/photos_documenting_payphone_de.html?camp
An Allston artist’s photographs documenting the decline of public payphones will be on display next month at the Faneuil Branch of the Boston Public Library in Brighton’s Oak Square.
The “Telephone Relics” exhibition by Sarah Berry “very poignantly captures the changing history of telecom, convenience, functionally and design that has resulted in streetscape artifacts that linger as if they still had a purpose,” said a statement from the newly-founded, local nonprofit Unbound Visual Arts, Inc.
“As a result of the evolution from wired and wall-mounted phones to personal and pocket-sized, most people realize that public telephones, once prominent throughout the world, have significantly declined in usage,” the statement continued. “Sarah Berry has not only noticed this 21st century historical trend but presents us with artistic visual evidence.”
The exhibition debuts Saturday, Nov. 3 during a reception and artist discussion from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., the art organization said in an announcement. The gallery will be on display through Nov. 30.
Berry received a master’s of science in arts administration at Boston University, is program manager of The Art Connection in Boston and leads photography workshops through the city’s parks department, according to the nonprofit.
Her exhibits have appeared at BU, Boston City Hall, and in galleries in Washington D.C. and Fairfax, Va.
