In addition to the obvious “remains” title here, another reason is for the photo featured in this post. Thursday was St. Patrick’s Day, and in addition to the continued wearing of the green that was throughout the city there was this festive lei attached to a cemetery fence – a pop of color on the stark black.

For this one, I was shooting over a wall that of course had snow on it, so I like seeing some of the snow in the bottom of the frame. But I most like the top left corner, because the sun is there – and I hope to see a lot more of it here.

Of course this wasn’t the only reason I went out today. In addition to sun and snow, Hasty Pudding Theatricals presented its 2011 Woman of the Year, Julianne Moore. In this case, the snow was my friend today because I was able to scale a snowbank across from the New College Theatre and take some photos.

You can check out the rest of my Hasty Pudding photos on Flickr.

This year, winter is back on the East Coast. It seems like every week we have a storm or two. It is winter, and when I was younger I dreamed of having snowfall like this, so I’m really not in too much of a position to complain. Instead, I have gone out with my camera for two of the storms to capture some images of Cambridge in the snow. Here is an album from the 2010 Blizzard, and here are some from today’s latest snow.

I chose this one as my Photo of the Day because while the statue (which is in front of Harvard’s Hemenway Gym) looks lovely all snow covered, what I really like about this photo is the look of the bricks and snow together, soft and abstract.

I actually really enjoying photographing reflections and mirror images. Here are some more that I posted in a set on Flickr.
