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.

Promo Photos for Home Despot
Here’s another from the archive: these promotional portraits of Sophia for their band Home Despot. This was a fun shoot! We went to Kelly’s Diner, a Ball Square staple, and shot in/near the Tufts Crafts Center, which is full of brightly colored surfaces and strange items to use as props. Assuming everything isn’t canceled for…
PNDP – Sports
Here’s PNDP assignment #5: to go to a Wonderland youth sports game and try to tell the story of it through photos. Also, to write a poem about it. I chose the Medford High School JV soccer team, photographed a game in disgusting rain, and wrote a poem inspired by this video. Even though The…
Photo a day: hitching a ride with my sibling
I’m fortunate to go to college just one town over from where I grew up and where my family lives, and also fortunate enough to have a younger sibling with a license. Here are some impressions from an afternoon driving around with them.
COVID-19 Self-Quarantine Photos, Week 7
Well, here we are again. This week I cooked some barely edible food, ordered $120 of model-making supplies online, felt painfully tired and unmotivated, had some delightful and affirming phone/video calls with friends, and spent much more time than I care to admit arranging mirrors in my room to bounce sunlight around. I feel so…

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.
Ashley and Addie’s Arboretum Engagement
Ashley and Addie are getting married at the end of this summer, so they wanted some pretty engagement photos among the flowers at the Arnold Arboretum. It rained a ton, but we got some cute shots anyway. They look so happy!

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.
