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.

I took headshots with Duncan a couple of months ago. Here are a couple! Peep the flower backdrop — I made it for a video shoot last year and it’s turned out to be a fun alternate to a blank wall. You can book your own headshot session with me here.
Arlington resident Jeffrey Alexander loves astronomy so much he shares his telescope with everyone in the summer. I went to one of his stargazing events last week. Read about it on Icons of Arlington.
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….
This past semester, I shot the dress rehearsal of 3Ps’ production of The Hungry Woman, a play based on Aztec religion, Medea and La Llorona. Here’s a selection of images from that.
At the end of the summer, Casey and I went on one last date before he left for L.A. for the semester: dinner and a gigantic s’more milkshake at the Boston Burger Company.
