I covered the annual Independence Day fireworks at Trum Field for the Somerville Journal last night. The evening was chaotic, and I’m not exactly proud of the United States right now, but the fireworks sure did look pretty. And it was good to finally do some press photography after a long stretch of mostly food and headshots.
Here are a few of the photos. You can see the rest on their WickedLocal site.

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.
This past weekend I covered the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church’s super popular event the Harvest Moon Fair. We’re talking line out the door, can’t hear yourself think, elbow to elbow crowded.
Evelyn Swift Shuker, local (Boston/Philly — hire them!) performance artist, director, and playwright, was the lead actress in a short film I made last semester.

Some highlights: a romantic first look on South Village Beach, a ceremony and…
