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.
I was the official behind the scenes photographer for the production of the Tufts Experimental College Director Howard Woolf’s film ‘Dust’ this summer. Here are some stills from day six. You can follow the film’s official Facebook page here. Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes posts — I took a lot of photos! Here are the behind-the-scenes photos for…
This was an un-exciting week except for yesterday, when I went to Mahoney’s with my sister Isi and her girlfriend Sym, who are both living with us, to get plants for the vegetable garden. This article by comparative immunologist and bio professor Erin Bromage about the relative risk of infection in different situations was useful…
Another from the archive — Sarabande’s fall 2018 show. I shot that show a few months after I had back surgery and was still pretty early in my recovery. I felt uncertain about saying yes to taking photos of a dance show, because I knew it would require a lot of hurrying back and forth…
Arlington resident Jeffrey Alexander loves astronomy so much he shares his telescope with everyone in the summer. I went to one of his stargazing events last week. Read about it on Icons of Arlington.
Did we have a great time baking at Lilli’s? Yes. Did I get a single picture of Lilli that I can put on the public, front-facing Internet? No, of course not.
Here’s PNDP assignment #6: go to another game by the same team as the previous assignment, and shoot away from the action. The writing assignment was a poem made out of conversations overheard at the game. Number 4! Mohammed, come back You can’t let him get there On the ground There’s still so much I…

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.
