What's wrong with this picture?

Look closely...

Underexposure.

Well, yes, there's that. But also it that I took the picture 2 seconds too early to show you the stream of cars running through the red light.

I wanted to document the typical driving habits of the Boston driver and I've failed miserably.

Oh, I see what you mean.

That was my first hunch...that the silver truck was doing something which it shouldn't, but the red lights in the background led me to believe he had the green.

I know that intersection well. I was there last night on the motorcycle. Usually that's one of the worst intersections in the city. Either the red lights get run, or people taking a left toward the highway get nervous when they confront the rows of traffic coming at them from the other side of the intersection.

It's one of those spots where, if you're new to town, you might have some problems.

Oh yeah.... and then there's the beggars who want to wash your windows or talk to you while you're trying to assess the scene.

Good times.
