This theme was to focus on patterns, which I thought would be fairly easy. While there are lots of patterns in everyday things, a lot of them start to look the same and are mostly geometric. They also didn't always lend themselves to especially interesting photos, in terms of composition. You can only take so many photos with the camera aimed straight at a pattern.

But after reviewing the bunch, I think they're a good variety of patterns, color and compositions. It took almost the whole two weeks to find all nine, and most ended up being from my own neighborhood in the South End. Its bricks, old grates and industrial buildings were the best subjects for natural patterns, especially since Boston isn't bursting with striking modern architecture. Enjoy!
