Burlington, Vermont is a city often visited in the summer and spring, yet also in the winter with given the city’s art based community, as well as the close proximity to Canada’s border,

specifically Montreal. Photographer Thomas W.P. Slatin, as part of the weekly “Travel Series Throughout Vermont,” visited the intriguing and special city this past week, along with Makayla

Martinez to show its beauty and intrigue through photographs. Slatin states, “I had asked around upon moving to Vermont about some of the most photogenic and interesting locations to

photograph in Vermont. Burlington was a common response, as was Rutland. Having already done a photo shoot in Rutland, Burlington was the next obvious location to visit and photographs.”

Next week, readers should check back on Saturday, October 24th for Slatin’s additional photographs from a recent Rutland photo shoot. Each week an interesting and notable city in Vermont

will be explored and photographed by renowned adventure photographer Thomas Slatin to be shared with Patch readers through this travel series. Throughout all of Vermont, there are many

beautiful and interesting areas from which to choose that fall into that category, Slatin will select some of his favorites each week to share with readers, as discussed through weekly

interviews. Thomas Slatin, wanting to make visiting the beautiful city one that is definitely relatable to readers decided to “document a single typical day” in Burlington, Vermont,

illustrated by model Makayla Martinez as she explored some of the shops and businesses on Church Street and various side streets. “Eventually, we made our way to Burlington’s skateboard

park, “Andy A_Dog Williams Skate Park,” states Slatin, “Makayla is an avid skateboarder, so needless to say she was in her element.” When Slatin was asked in a recent interview, “What do you

love the most about Burligton,?" he recalled the city’s own “unique vibe.” Continuing, “In Burlington there seems to be a slower pace to life, a comfortable one, and I met a lot of

friendly, happy and kind people who simply wanted to talk to me about my photography. I sincerely enjoyed working with model and friend Makayla Martinez again. Makayla's years of

experience as a model make working with her a pleasure.” Readers who are thinking about visiting Burlington, photographer Thomas Slatin definitely encourage you to do so! Stating,

“Burlington, Vermont has everything one could possibly ask for. I especially appreciated the local arts scene, as well as the many street performers who were performing original music on the

street. Church Street has a mix of shops and businesses, each unique in their own way. I also like how Burlington has huge murals painted on the sides of a lot of their buildings.” His

favorite element, the people. “I love how wonderful the people are there. Out of all of the people that I photographed, several musicians, nobody objected to me taking their pictures when I

asked permission to do so. Whenever I was approached by someone, it was only because they wanted more information about where they could see my photography, states Slatin. Thomas Slatin’s

GPS-module attached to allow him to pinpoint the various locations where each photograph was obtained. Thomas Slatin’s favorite photo from the day trip to document Burlington, Vermont, the

man playing the accordion. Stating, “This man was wandering around Church Street playing an accordion. I motioned to him, and brought his attention to my camera. He couldn't hear me

over the music he was playing, but he nodded enthusiastically, and I took this picture; my favorite of that day for certain.” Summarizing the trip, the “enormous art presence stood out the

most,” and of course the great people. Slatin concludes, “Everywhere you go, it seems that someone is either performing music, or has created something artistic for public display. It is a

truly inspiring place to visit. We had stopped into the fire station, as the crew was returning from a call. I had photographed their truck leaving the station earlier in the day. When we

saw them returning from the call, they had suggested I visit the skate park with Makayla, and they also mentioned that there would be a lot of interesting backdrops, such as the city skyline

and waterfront.” Model Makayla Martinez recalled her favorite picture of the day, it is the photograph of her sitting on her skateboard, looking at the sky in front of the beautiful mural

on South Winooski. During times where most are not traveling as much as what might be typical, if at all, the weekly “Travel Series Throughout Vermont,” gives readers the opportunity to see
