Day 66.

Packing to leave for a conference in Chicago tomorrow, and looking forward to seeing lots of colleagues and friends. I'll be (mostly) offline until Monday, but will be bringing my camera, of course. Anybody have favorite places to shoot in downtown Chicago?

Day 65.

We had dinner with my brother, his wife, and their 2.5 month old son on Monday night. He has a great smile, as you can see.

Day 64.

Working late on Sunday getting ready for a conference this week. Not much time to shoot, so here is a photo of the doors to the building I work in. Not my best work photographically, but it'll do.

Day 63.

We went to Paleo Day at the Harvard Museum of Natural History this morning. One of the coolest exhibits in the museum is the Great Mammal Hall, renovated to match the original 1872 arrangement of specimens. In the hall hang several whale skeletons, including this pair (a Right Whale and an Atlantic Harbor Porpoise).

Day 62.

Trying to avoid another snow shot for the 366 today, so here is a shot from dinner. We had a lovely Shabbat dinner with my aunts and cousins tonight. I've now got reasonably good pictures of wine (this) and candles, so all I need is a good vertical shot of Challah and I can make a Shabbat triptych. :-)
