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.

Kelly’s Diner
Here’s a throwback from last year: Casey and I went to Kelly’s Diner in Ball Square, and I’d just gotten a 24-70 and was excited to take some wide-angle shots for once. The light in Kelly’s is at least as good as the food. And Casey’s hair has gotten so long since then!
Tufts Dining Breakfast for Dinner
I’m nearly a year behind on my photo queue — these are from April 18, 2018. Breakfast for Dinner was always one of my favorite Tufts Dining events to shoot. Those crepes are great!
The return / black and white
It’s been a while! I haven’t really been shooting professionally since I got a full-time job in 2020. After a second spinal surgery about a year ago, I haven’t been shooting for fun much either. But I recently inherited a SLR from my grandfather. I signed up for a darkroom class in March so I…
Dance Performance Photography – Wuzee’s Vermillion
I don’t have much new work to show yet, but I have tons of work I did before my injury to share. Here’s some: photos of a show by Tufts’ Chinese fusion dance group, Wuzee, from March 2018. A local Chinese youth dance troupe performed too.
Spirit of the Creative Spring 2018 Show
This was the last dance show I shot at Tufts before graduating! It was a bittersweet moment for me and I imagine it felt that way for the dancers who were graduating too. What a great last show. P.S. The dance group Wuzee are in the second image. I’ve shot for them before too.
Photo a Day: Alan Kaufman
Here’s another from ACMi — Alan Kaufman, who produces ‘In the Tradition,’ a folk music show, tuning a violin in the conference room.

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.
