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.

Icons of Arlington: Crusher Lot
After a little break I’m back with a new post for Icons of Arlington! I was homeschooled, so I’ve actually never set foot in Ottoson, but I’ve spent some time in these woods and it sounds like a whole lot of other people have too. An interesting little place.
Dark-Eyed Juncos and House Sparrows
My mom maintains a number of bird feeders, which attract the local wildlife. We get a lot of squirrels, but also a lot of dark-eyed juncos and house sparrows. The juncos are the gray-and-dun ones who look like a half-dipped Easter egg, and the house sparrows are varying shades of brown. On the flashier end…
BMX and Board Tricks at Lynch Family Skate Park
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…

Photo a Day: Nahant Beach
My friend Eliza and I went to Nahant Beach. Since it’s New England, the sun was way too hot and the water way too cold. We had a fun time anyway and left with beachy waves in our hair!

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.
