I didn’t get paid to take these; my parents just had some dead trees that needed to be taken care of. That said, if any tree services are looking for photos for their website, CALL ME. I would love to shoot more pictures like this.

Mayer Tree Service was here for two days and I found the whole tree removal process so captivating that I barely got any work done. Watching — and photographing — something get chainsawed apart bit by bit is surprisingly pleasant. I don’t often find myself favoring vertical compositions, but I guess it makes sense for a subject like this.

Dark-Eyed Juncos and House Sparrows

My mom maintains a number of bird feeders, which attract the local wildlife. We get a lot of squirrels, but also a lot of dark-eyed juncos and house sparrows. The juncos are the gray-and-dun ones who look like a half-dipped Easter egg, and the house sparrows are varying shades of brown. On the flashier end…

Boston Dyke March 2017

This was my second year photographing the Boston Dyke March, but it’s been happening annually since 1995, the year I was born. Every year dozens of lesbians, bisexual women, trans people, and other members of the LGBTQ+ community march around downtown Boston and then gather at Parkman Bandstand in the Boston Common for live music…
