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.
Let’s be honest: ‘Photo a Day’ is frequently ‘At Least Two Photos a Day.’ I liked how cinematic the simple moment of pasta cooking on the stove could be. . .one concept I’m very fond of from my video production experience is the idea of corresponding establishing shots and close-ups, which is why I’ll sometimes…
Here are some sunset campus stock photos I took for the Daily last year before I graduated. Maybe you recognize where these were taken.
This past weekend I covered the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church’s super popular event the Harvest Moon Fair. We’re talking line out the door, can’t hear yourself think, elbow to elbow crowded.
Tufts dance troupe Spirit of the Creative had me shoot their show this fall. I’m scheduled to shoot their spring show in a couple of weeks. Check out their dance moves and great energy! My favorite part of shooting dance (and some sports, depending on the players’ appearances) is the way hair looks at a…
I have so few shots from this Tufts-Babson game because, get this, there were three other Daily photographers there, two of whom were there to get trained on sports photography. Basketball is hard to shoot because it’s so dark in the gym!
This picture requires no explanation. If you enjoy Tex-Mex, want to eat large amounts of cheese, and are going to be in the Cambridge, MA area, please go to Border Cafe in Harvard Square and order a burro. Not sponsored, I just love this burro that much.

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.
