El Sol and a shopper

A recent version of my photographic self would have not liked it that the masked gentleman walked into the frame. New Me, however, thought, “Well, why not?” and when ahead and decided to like-enough-to-post an image with three quarters of a person in it.

Look! People! Two of them, in one photo!

But more importantly, check out all the delightful candy options.

Three people, at a bar. Or, more accurately, two people at a bar and one on television.

the day the train came to town

Maybe you remember that time last summer when we drove many hours to see a train? We weren’t the only ones who made seeing that giant steam engine a spectator event.

Obligatory Location

It was a delightful coincidence that my work trip to Boston could be arranged to allow me to participate in a group photo walk through the lovely Beacon Hill neighborhood. If I am being honest, places like Beacon Hill aren’t my favorite locations; it is much tidier and well-kept than the places I like to shoot. Plus the class required the use of a 50mm lens, and it is not a lens I automatically use.

Challenges are good, though. They make your brain work in different ways, make your eyes seek different subjects. Those are always excellent exercises for photographers and I am very happy that I was able to take the class.

And that’s the long way of explaining that this street seems to be the most famous street in all of Boston, and so I sort of had to photograph it.
