THIS IS MY BOSTON, Reflections on Light, Seasons, and a Changing City

Enjoy some of the photos on this site in this photo book by Jenny Pivor

For more than three decades, photographer and artist Jenny Pivor has explored Boston through its changing light, shifting seasons, evolving architecture, and quiet human moments. In This Is My Boston, she invites readers to experience the city not as a visitor or tourist, but through the eyes of someone who has lived with it, returned to it, and watched it transform over time.

From harbor reflections and historic neighborhoods to dramatic weather, modern skylines, and fleeting moments on city streets, these photographs reveal a Boston in constant conversation with itself—between history and reinvention, permanence and change, water and architecture.

Organized around themes of reflection, light, seasons, and city life, this richly illustrated collection captures both the iconic landmarks and the everyday poetry that define Boston. The images span more than thirty years and celebrate not only a place, but the experience of seeing it closely.

Part visual journey, part love letter, This Is My Boston is a personal portrait of a city that remains endlessly familiar and endlessly new. Whether you are a lifelong Bostonian, a former resident, a student, or a visitor who has fallen under the city's spell, these photographs invite you to discover a Boston that exists beyond the guidebooks; a Boston shaped by memory, revealed through reflection, and illuminated by light.
