Nicholas Hyacinthe Photography

Nicolas Hyacinthe's photography exhibition, “ Movement & Impulse”, now opened at Christopher’s Restaurant, (map) in Porter Square through December 1. “ Movement and Impulses”, challenges modern day perceptions by examining the flux found in an inanimate world. This one of a kind collection of analog technique examines the integral connections often over looked in everyday images. Sounds great and the food and drinks look solid at Christopher's too.
