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.

One Fan
Well, of course I looked in the window of this little bar. And, also of course, I photographed what I saw – the one guy in the bar looking at the one guy on the television.

Arched
It was one of those compose-and-wait situations that Sam Abell talks about. And I didn’t have to wait very long before a group of pedestrians were right there, under the arc of the water, just where I wanted them to be.

the best lunch all week
If you’re driving through an unfamiliar town – let’s just say it’s Mexia, Texas – and it’s lunch time and you stop at a place called Jim’s Krispy Fried Chicken, you will have made exactly the right decision.
