This was probably the most photogenic moment from the ig Nobel informal lectures at MIT over the weekend. (Every year after the proper, formal ceremony at Harvard, the winners trot over to MIT to give a recap.)

street photography--a first attempt

For the photojournalism class, we've been asked to start doing some street photography. Essentially, you go out and photograph strangers. Any strangers. Doing anything that you find interesting.
