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’d never had real (read: not instant) ramen before, so my old friend Ellie and I went to Santouka Ramen in Harvard Square so I could try it. 10/10, would recommend.
Ashley and Addie, who you might remember from their engagement shoot at the Arnold Arboretum, got married at the end of this summer and I had the honor of capturing their wedding in Brewster, MA, smack in the middle of Cape Cod. Some highlights: a romantic first look on South Village Beach, a ceremony and…
I love weird, scaly things, so I dragged some friends out to the Massachusetts Reptile Expo in Brockton, MA. Click through to enlarge, unless you don’t like snakes, in which case close this page ASAP.

I’ve been spending a lot of time looking at them, trying to figure out what they need, and watching the heartleaf philodendron…
Last week I shot Somerville’s annual marshmallow fluff festival, “What the Fluff,” for the Somerville Journal. See all the photos on their site at WickedLocal.

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…)
