Marblehead Festival of Arts for Marblehead Reporter
Here’s the other event I shot this past Saturday! This is actually the first — the Haitian culture night was later in the day.
This event was a blast. The weather was lovely, the festival-goers were friendly, and the art was fun. Check out all my photos below, or click through to the WickedLocal article to see my photos alongside some from Chris Stevens.

I shot not one but two events last Saturday! It was exhausting and I may have gotten a tiny bit sunburned, but they were awesome events and it was good to get so much practice. Here are some photos from the second event. They ran in the Somerville Journal if you want to see them there.
I took some shots for Drs. Melody Hoffmann and Raechel Tiffe, the women behind feminist pop culture & politics podcast ‘Feminist Killjoys, PHD’. They’re vegan, feminist, punk, activist scholars, both of whom have degrees in Critical Media Studies. Learn more about them at their website, listen to them on SoundCloud or iTunes, or follow their…
Three photo-a-days in one: my trip to Martha’s Vineyard with Casey and Jason! We stayed in Casey’s grandparents’ lodge, had a very belated birthday dinner for Casey, saw a movie, went to the beach… I got eaten alive by mosquitoes but it was a nice break from routine otherwise.

My favorite part of shooting dance (and some sports, depending on the players’ appearances) is the way hair looks at a…

The Illuminations Tour is an annual event put on by the town of Somerville. Participants buy tickets and take a trolley tour through different neighborhoods to see the displays residents have erected this…
