The Focused Eye: Our Unique Views was an outdoor photography exhibition located at Fan Pier on the Public Green in Boston’s bustling Seaport District. Eighty-eight images were displayed on a large-scale banner, 5-feet high and 250-feet long, showcasing the work of the Boston Camera Club, the second-oldest camera club in the country.
