This semester I’m taking Program for Narrative and Documentary Practice, a photography + writing class. Everyone in the class shoots in “Wonderland,” an area the teacher delineates as anywhere north of Mystic Ave, bounded on the west by the Fells and on the Atlantic on the east. The first week he just had us go into Wonderland and get lost in it if we could, in order to begin getting acquainted with it — no photos required. I took some anyway.
Torn Ticket II put on a production of Pippin last semester and I did both promo pictures and photo call for them! The show had heavy uplighting and weird, creepy characters, so we tried to make that come through in the promo pictures.
I’ve been writing about a lot of bodies of water lately. Here’s my Icons of Arlington on Spy Pond.
Back in August, I did production design, makeup, and behind the scenes photography for Joshua Gray and Ben Hosking’s short film ‘Better Off.’ It was a long, sweaty, buggy shoot in the armpit of New Hampshire, but we powered through and I think the final product is going to be great.
My friend Matthew (see picture #3) and I met up at the Lynch Family Skate Park in Boston around sunset to see what we could photograph. I had such a great time! The park is right in the middle of Boston, under a loop of 93 and next to Zakim Bridge. The skateboarders and BMX…
Here’s the other event I shot this past Saturday! This is actually the first — the Haitian culture night was later in the day. This event was a blast. The weather was lovely, the festival-goers were friendly, and the art was fun. Check out all my photos below, or click through to the WickedLocal article…
I covered the annual Independence Day fireworks at Trum Field for the Somerville Journal last night. The evening was chaotic, and I’m not exactly proud of the United States right now, but the fireworks sure did look pretty. And it was good to finally do some press photography after a long stretch of mostly food…

I worked in Lynn in 1989, commuted via Everett and Revere daily. I remember feeling like I had crossed into a different culture from Tufts and Cambridge area once I entered Medford on Rt 16 to Rt 60. Rich in imagery (it was my first photo class at at Tufts where I became obsessed with “ bathtub virgins” in the streets near and around Tufts…)
Once you’re past Mystic Ave and the far reach of Tufts’ influence everything really is different! I love those bathtub virgins — they’re such a thing here that one of the example photos for “Bathtub Madonna” on Wikipedia was taken in Somerville.
