Not photographically interesting, but if you were ever in the market for the Think Tank Airport Acceleration and already owned the Lowepro Slingshot 300 (or vice versa) you might find this helpful...

I'm trying to decide my next bag purchase.  I have outgrown the Lowepro Slingshot and it gets uncomfortable when fully loaded.  I wanted to compare the Think Tank Antidote and Acceleration, but all the stores I have visited have only had the Acceleration in stock.

Today was a good day.  Irene and I went in to Boston to view Shepard Fairey's art at the Institute of Contemporary Art.  You may remember I snapped an iPhone picture of his HOPE piece on Inauguration Day.

After that we got some shawarma in Brookline followed by seeing Star Trek at an IMAX theater.  The movie was great... we both really enjoyed it.  Unfortunately, during the movie the projection stopped and we had a forced 10 minute intermission.  It didn't detract much from the experience.

Before the movie started I saw this silhouette of a gentleman trying to catch the attention of his family who were looking for their seats.

Just a quick snap on the iPhone.  Taken along a road near work.
I feared that back down in MA the snow wouldn't have held to the trees as much, it turns out I was right.  On top of that it was about 35 degrees so just anything that had held, had melted off the limbs.

Today our 44th President was sworn in to office.

Irene's coworker held a party to celebrate the inauguration.  Some of the people there assembled this poster on the wall.  The original art is by Shepard Fairey and is now hung in National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Museum.

Fairey has an exibit opening in Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art and he will be DJing a event in early February that we plan to attend.

The iPhone handled the low light better than I expected.  It just needed a bit of noise reduction.

Yesterday's snow stayed sitting on the trees overnight.  I always love the way this portion of my drive to work looks.  Usually it has quite a bit of traffic, but this morning with it being Martin Luther King Day I was alone.  So, I slowed down to almost a stop and took this shot.  Unfortunately, I didn't wash the window clean before the photo.

I am impressed by the amount of detail and fairly accurate color the iPhone captured.

By far the best non-business phone you purchase these days is the iPhone.  A fully capable browser (minus Flash) and an application store provide nearly limitless opportunity.  The next best thing would be an Android phone, but unfortunately only one exists so far and it is only available on T-Mobile.  A Blackberry has excellent hardware, but sadly their software is comparatively poor with an antiquated OS that was only masked in recent phones with new graphics, when it really needs a complete overhaul.

The iPhone isn't without its faults however.  In particular, the lack of Copy & Paste and no way to run background processes stick out like a sore thumb.
