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.
One of my housemates turned 21 this past month, so he brought some friends out for dinner and drinks at Charlie’s Kitchen. It was nice to just shoot casually instead of for work!
I shot not one but two events last Saturday! It was exhausting and I may have gotten a tiny bit sunburned, but they were awesome events and it was good to get so much practice. Here are some photos from the second event. They ran in the Somerville Journal if you want to see them there.
Around this time last month, I was working on production design for a short film my friend Ben Hosking was directing. He, the DP, the UPM, and I drove up to our location, which was a truck stop in New Hampshire. It was a gorgeous, cool night, absolutely unlike the night we actually shot. Keep…

This past semester, I shot the dress rehearsal of 3Ps’ production of The Hungry Woman, a play based on Aztec religion, Medea and La Llorona. Here’s a selection of images from that.
This post isn’t called “dream cake” because it’s my favorite cake — it’s called that because I had a dream in which I ate almond-pistachio cake and I was so intrigued by it that I made up a recipe for it and tried to replicate it in real life. I thought it was a little…

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.
