Photo of the Day, October 7, 2009: Taxi!

Mike Cialowicz took a photo of a typical urban scenario, taxis. Using light to draw you into the photo, this is an excellent take on a daily scene.

  • Drastic Boston Taxi News: An all-hybrid cab fleet by 2015, fares are going up, credit cards will be accepted in all cabs, and drivers can't use cell phones when they have passengers! [Allston Tab]
