Oxford Circus Underground Station. Man waiting for a Northbound Victoria Line train. The Millais painting of Ophelia was placed where advertsing billboards are normaly located. This (the placing of the painting not my photo) was part of the 'arteverywhere' project. London August 2013
The guy on the left habitually sits in the plaza in Harvard Square taking on all comers for $2 a game. He's been there for as long as I can remember and, judging by the times I've watched, there are few who beat him. A couple of weeks ago I was sitting there waiting for someone and got to watch him in a different mode. This youngster played with him about half an hour, watching the eyes of the master to decide whether or not a move was correct. The teacher was gentle with him, soft-spoken, and never talked down to him... explaining in detail why each move was a good one or a bad one. Then, a while later, I watched the same sort of lesson with an older teenager. I guess Harvard University isn't the only place thereabouts where real learning occurs. :-)
The original intent for this shot was a simple landscape with no people in it. After setting up the composition I waited for the scene to clear, and waited, and waited and waited. Lol!
I was about to give up when this couple sat down and started looking over the park. Instead of being a distraction they completed the scene and gave it the element that it was missing all along.
Taken at the top of the "Crack" Trail in Killarney Provincial Park, Ontario.

Mila in a rare moment of calm. These don't happen much...
Usually she is running round like a nutter or doing something equally bad. Turns out she was so calm in this picture because she was stealing my mini tripod while I was concentrating on the picture.
There's nothing but evil inside her I tells ya, EVIL!
Taken with the mighty helios 44-2. f2.8 & 1/60 shutter
My old friend Mark came over yesterday. We had a great time and he took these pictures, which I find delightfully quirky and moody.
