It’s been a while!

I haven’t really been shooting professionally since I got a full-time job in 2020. After a second spinal surgery about a year ago, I haven’t been shooting for fun much either.

But I recently inherited a SLR from my grandfather. I signed up for a darkroom class in March so I can learn to shoot and develop my own film. The class is for black and white film. Except for the hole-themed project I did in college, I haven’t done much black and white photography. So I’ve been a) trying to get back into the habit of shooting for fun and b) trying to shoot for black and white. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far.

Block Prints

Here’s another from the archives: some solo and family portraits I did for Kelly, one of the former captains of Spirit of the Creative, when we were both graduating from Tufts last year. She’s super tall compared to most of her family, but we got clever with the stairs outside Eaton Hall for some of the…

Photo a Day: Texture at IARYD

My senior honors thesis class, for a reason neither the students nor the professor can fathom, is in the building that houses the Tufts Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development — in the same room my sports videography internship with the IARYD held trainings in summer 2016. Very weird.
