A shot of the Quincy Adams subway station on the outskirts of Boston. I like this black-and-white version of the photo as it accentuates the contrast between the light and shadowy parts of the station (see the original color photo).

Courtney got me a book about photography design principles for Christmas, and I was reading the chapter about using frames within the frame on our flight to New England. Lo and behold: What should I find at the Boston Museum of Science but an almost perfect set of frames within the frame. The view from the lobby on the upper floors is simply breathtaking, especially during dusk.

Things have been quiet on this blog for the last week while I’ve been traveling for the holidays, but now I’m back with a vengeance, not to mention a couple memory cards full of pictures from my trip. I’ll post some of them here, starting with this one of a couple kids lounging at the foot of the giant T-Rex statue in the Boston Museum of Science.

This picture was actually cropped from a larger shot I took of a group of munchkins (below). I cropped that photo several ways, focusing in on different kids, though I think the crop above is my favorite.
