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.

This door to West Lab leads to the accessible route from the Science and Engineering Center to the third floor of Anderson and Robinson.
The Memorial Steps, an iconic Tufts landmark, and impassible barrier for students with mobility disabilities, leads from the Academic Quad to College Ave.
Stairs in Olin Language Center lead from the basement to the third floor. Fortunately, the building has an elevator as well.

LGBTattoo: Connecting to community and identity through body art I did this semester-long project for Gary Knight’s class Advanced Documentary Practice, the second half of PNDP, during my last spring at Tufts. You can see it as a magazine layout in PDF format (with screen-reader accessible text) here, or read the entire essay below. Tattooing…
I was the official behind the scenes photographer for the production of the Tufts Experimental College Director Howard Woolf’s film ‘Dust’ this summer.

Here’s the second part of the abandoned first draft of my PNDP final project. I was going to look at economic inequality by comparing Manchester-by-the-Sea, the wealthiest town in the North Shore, to Lynn, the poorest. That didn’t work out, but I wound up with some nice landscapes. Click the thumbnails for a better view….
Here’s yet another set of photos from a Tufts Dining event. I find it’s difficult to keep event photos from looking same-y after a while — even though the decorations and food are different for every event, after a while you start to learn the angles and light in the dining centers so well that…
Here’s something different: costumes. Last semester, the Tufts Drama and Dance Department offered a class called “Sew-cial Activism,” where students studied costuming as a form of political statement and made their own political costumes. See if you can guess what all these costumes are about. You can mouse over the images to see the answers….
