After being a staff photographer at the Tufts Daily for four years, I finally wrote an article. It’s about a topic I’m close to, namely physical accessibility on the Medford/Somerville campus, but I wanted to tell the story of other physically disabled Tufts students, not just my own. You can read the article, which I did in collaboration with the investigative team editor Liam Knox, here. I’ve included some of the photos I took for it below, but the article features many more, as well as some amazing work by members of the Daily’s video and graphics teams.

Frankie Francois, a Boston-area film, commercial, and voiceover actress, did some voice acting for my thesis film “What Stays Inside” in exchange for some portraits. Drop her a line if you need someone for your project. She’s super friendly and easy to work with!
I’ve shot some performances for Torn Ticket II before. I knew a little about this show from the promo shoot. But I was not expecting it to be this weird.
Arlington is all about placing large carved stones around to commemorate various events and people, mostly related to war. The majority of them are for the Revolutionary War, but the big column in this picture is in honor of Union soldiers from Arlington who fought in the American Civil War. I wrote about this memorial,…
Just past this graffiti, they’ve been building a retaining wall all summer. When I passed it on the last day of my internship recently, the wall was done and a restaurant had set up bicycle-themed lighting. It’s been cool seeing the facade slowly shape up all summer — it started with a patch of dirt…
I covered this year’s Arlington Open Studios for Icons of Arlington. It was cool getting to see the work of so many local artists and craftspeople! Check it out.
