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.
Here’s PNDP assignment #7: to capture animals and their relationship to the humans around them. Some pets are less popular than others. Most people are fine with having a cat or a dog, but would balk at the idea of sharing their space with a snake, lizard, or tarantula. I wanted to find out who…
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.
One of my housemates turned 21 this past month, so he brought some friends out for dinner and drinks at Charlie’s Kitchen. It was nice to just shoot casually instead of for work!

You can read the article, which I…
I love weird, scaly things, so I dragged some friends out to the Massachusetts Reptile Expo in Brockton, MA. Click through to enlarge, unless you don’t like snakes, in which case close this page ASAP.

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.
