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.

Sports: Tufts Women’s Basketball
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!
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…
PNDP: Lynn
Here’s the second part of the abandoned first draft of my PNDP final project. I was going to look at economic inequality by comparing Manchester-by-the-Sea, the wealthiest town in the North Shore, to Lynn, the poorest. That didn’t work out, but I wound up with some nice landscapes. Click the thumbnails for a better view….
Icons of Arlington
I’ve started a documentary photography project about my hometown. (Okay, it’s just a glamorized blog, but whatever.) I just uploaded the first post. Take a look if you’d like. The history and culture of Arlington is a niche topic, but I hope I can make it visually interesting enough that anyone can enjoy it.
COVID-19 Self-Quarantine Photos, Week 4
We’ve been doing this for a month now, apparently. I find myself overly stressed about the few obligations I still have, even though they’re all no big deal. I bet a lot of you feel the same. We’re all in crisis mode to some extent, and our bodies don’t know how to differentiate between stressors…
Found poetry, zines, and cabin fever guide up on Itch.io!
It’s been a while, but I’m back with a non-photographic update. Specifically: I switched my downloadable projects from Gumroad to Itch because of Gumroad’s questionable NFT messaging. Everything on my Itch is pay-what-you-want. If you didn’t get to save a zine you got from my Gumroad before I deleted it, you can always get it…

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.
