Boston has evolved with more of a charge than a crawl in the past forty years. And the larger society has not lagged either in terms of cultural and technological changes. Through more than 230 images of Boston, Things Change explores some of these changes and spotlights ideas and products that might impact the next forty years. Gerald Reilly's 35mm black and white photographs from the 1970s contrast informatively with his daughter Alanna's digital iPhone images of Boston today.
