EMERALD NECKLACE Mark Steinmetz x seya.

THE PHOTOS WERE MADE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD OF BOSTON NAMED JAMAICA PLAIN. MOST OF THE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN NEAR WARDS POND, WHICH IS A SMALL POND FORMED BY GLACIERS LONG AGO. IT IS PART OF THE “EMERALD NECKLACE,” A STRING OF NATURAL PARKS THROUGHOUT BOSTON THAT WERE DESIGNED BY FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED, THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT WHO ALSO DESIGNED CENTRAL PARK IN MANHATTAN. I LIKED THE SHAPE OF THE OLD TREES THERE AND THOUGHT THEY WOULD MAKE A GOOD BACKDROP FOR THE NATURAL MATERIALS OF THE CLOTHES. I AM ONLY TEMPORARILY IN BOSTON FOR THIS SPRING, THEN I RETURN HOME TO ATHENS, GEORGIA. —MARK STEINMETZ
