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.

PNDP Final Project: Hair
The end of Program for Narrative and Documentary Practice last semester culminated in a multi-week project about a subject of our choice. I chose hair, and started calling at barber shops and salons to see if they’d let me take pictures there. I learned a lot about hair, met a lot of cool hair stylists,…
Boston Dyke March 2017
This was my second year photographing the Boston Dyke March, but it’s been happening annually since 1995, the year I was born. Every year dozens of lesbians, bisexual women, trans people, and other members of the LGBTQ+ community march around downtown Boston and then gather at Parkman Bandstand in the Boston Common for live music…

3Ps (it stands for Pen Paint & Pretzels), Tufts’ student-run theater group, put on a production of “Stop Kiss” for first-year orientation.

This article by comparative immunologist and bio professor Erin Bromage about the relative risk of infection in different situations was useful…

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.
