Does anyone have favorite pictures of Rhode Island (specifically Providence) that they'd be willing to share? Thanks!
I don't have pictures, but if you want professional pictures I will give you two suggestions. First Google "Waterfire", you will get some great photos of the city. Also google "Richard Benjamin" other great photos. WARNING: these are "chamber of congress" photos. The city doesn't always look as good as these photos make it. Like any other northern city, we would not take pictures of snow covered with auto exhaust or of the streets still covered with sand in April. We could still get snow then. The city can get pretty gritty looking, but it just makes us appreciate the beauty that is underneath it all. We have slums like any city over 20,000 and there aren't any photos of them either; unless, you are doing a documentary.

Thanks for the suggestion! I actually already found that site and those photos; while they were beautiful, I was hoping that some non-professional photographers could send me some pics so I could try and get a feel of everyday life, even if it's not at the perfect angle. Thanks!
I already gave you a perfectly true verbal picture of what the God forsaken city of Providence looks like and you dismissed it. If you want things sugar coated, listen to mr2448 who seems doomed to spend the rest of his boring life in Providence. Consider yourself warned and move to RI at your own risk and peril.

You know, Providence and RI certainly aren't flawless. I live in Downtown Providence myself and it sure isn't the best place to live. But there're definitely nice parts in this city, there's good stuff around and some of it isn't even hidden. I was driving around the East Side just the other day and found it to be quite charming to say the least.
I'll see if I can take a couple of pictures over the next days. Certainly nothing professional, but just snapshots of Providence. We'll see what Sophadilla will think then.
PS: Here's one I found sitting on my harddrive. I somehow find it fitting for RI.

Reason: Added a picture.
Thanks for those pictures. I saw that no one commented on them and I just wanted to say that, although they are not professional ones, they can sometimes be better than the professional ones because it shows a true representation of the city. Thanks!
The Arts Downtown district looks good...have any more photos of Providence?
