My dieting adventures continue.  Let’s take a look at two things I am not allowed to eat:

I am currently on a diet and I can’t eat any wonderful breads like the one below:

Not really smoke, but god do I ever love this shot:

Warning.  You are about to see some extremely bright colors.  You can of course thank me later:

Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

No competition here. And good lord did I ever channel Mad Men in this one:

Looks like an ad right out of Sterling Cooper. Come back Don! I miss you!

Yesterday the sun was glinting off of things on Newbury street like I have not seen happen in a while.  Want an example?  Here you are:

The glint is subtle, but it is there, trust me!

Mannequins usually look so human that you can almost sense competition between them when there are more than one in a photo.  Witness:

About a minute after I snapped the above photo, some lady from the store came running over to advise me that photo taking was kind not allowed.  Interestingly she choose to do this after I had finished taking my pictures.

This one however, there was no problem in taking, because it is from far away:

I’m not really sure why I photograph mannequins so much.  I think it is based on years and years of people running away when I want to take a photo and me just kind of getting used to it.  However, I am starting to wonder lately what is going on, given the insane type people shots I’ve gotten lately, most recently the man below and man’s best friend.

My luck is changing with the photos, I tell you.

Today was some kind of dog day on Newbury Street in Boston.  Honestly, I had not seen so many dogs in a long time, but with winter sorta gone, it was time to expose skin, dog and otherwise to the elements.

First off we have the classic “dogs do look like their owners” photo:

The guy posed for the photo and everything for me, probably thinking I am famous or something.  Little does he know…  But the next photo was just, uh, well, you gotta see it to believe it:

I could not believe it when this man started to flip this dog over and want me to photograph him smiling.  He said “the dog loves being upside down, he loves it.”  About that, I am not sure….  Nevertheless, this was HILARIOUS.  Thank you Boston terrier man.

And then a little more up the road I encountered this monster:

That tongue is just immense.  And I got the owner too:

I liked the way the dog was hanging out between the guys legs.  No, these two don’t look alike, but the dog was a monster, in a good way.  He holding onto the dog to prevent him from going forward, with good reason.  As SOON I finished taking the photo, the dog went forward with the giant head and planted a big wet spot of drool on my pant leg.

Listen to me blog audience.  Know that I take immense risks when I am out taking photos.  Know that!
