Last year (and this year!) I had the honor of taking the photos for the ACLU of MA’s annual report. The report is here in PDF form if you want to read about what the ACLU of MA was up to last year, and I’ve posted some high res photos from it below.
The 2018 annual report was the first gig I did after having back surgery last year, and it was an great way to get back in the saddle after taking such a long, involuntary break. I drove nearly 300 miles, met a bunch of amazing people, and took so, so many photos. I’m glad I got to start working again by documenting plaintiffs, volunteers, activists, and lawmakers who are fighting for a better world.

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!
My newest post on Icons of Arlington is about Menotomy Rocks Park, a park I spent a lot of time in as a kid. I learned a lot about the park’s history, both ancient geologic and recent community history, while I was researching for this one. Content warning for non-graphic discussion of suicide in the…
The United Food & Commercial Workers Local 1445 and Massachusetts Jobs for Justice held a rally at the Stop and Shop on McGrath Highway in Somerville today in support of Stop and Shop workers.

I covered Arlington’s annual Town Day for Icons of Arlington. It was just as colorful as I remembered it being when I was a kid. See all the photos here.
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.
