PNDP – Sports II

PNDP – Sports II

Here’s PNDP assignment #6: go to another game by the same team as the previous assignment, and shoot away from the action. The writing assignment was a poem made out of conversations overheard at the game. Number 4! Mohammed, come back You can’t let him get there On the ground There’s still so much I…

Event: Environmental Film Festival VIP Reception and “Wasted!” Documentary Screening

The DC-based Environmental Film Festival (peep their cute logo!) had a Boston satellite screening of Anthony Bourdain’s documentary “Wasted! The Story of Food Waste” at the Kendall Landmark Theater and a VIP reception at the Dante Aligheri Society, and I had the privilege of photographing the reception, audience, and after-screening panel discussion. Don’t worry, the…

PNDP – Sports

Here’s PNDP assignment #5: to go to a Wonderland youth sports game and try to tell the story of it through photos. Also, to write a poem about it. I chose the Medford High School JV soccer team, photographed a game in disgusting rain, and wrote a poem inspired by this video. Even though The…

Photo a Day: Baking at Lilli’s

Did we have a great time baking at Lilli’s? Yes. Did I get a single picture of Lilli that I can put on the public, front-facing Internet? No, of course not.

Public Art Event: American Therapy

Public Art Event: American Therapy

This fall I had the opportunity to photograph creative activist/consultant/life coach Julie Ann Otis’ interactive installation “American Therapy Booth” while it was set up on Atlantic Wharf in downtown Boston. This was my second time working with Julie Ann — I shot her installation “Free Verse” in Union Square in Somerville, back in 2015. You…

That’s What We Get for Whole Hole Hole

That’s What We Get for Whole Hole Hole

I took some shots for Cloud Cellar‘s fall zine “Whole Hole Hole.” These are not my typical work at all, but I figured if anyone wouldn’t mind it, it’d be “Medford’s most esoteric gallery and venue.” Statement: That’s What We Get Here are a few of the kinds of holes I am interested in: –…

PNDP – Portraits on Revere Beach

PNDP – Portraits on Revere Beach

Here’s PNDP assignment #4: more portraits of strangers, but this time thinking about the concept of theophany (deities appearing to mortals in human form) while we were shooting. I went out to Revere Beach for this assignment. People were not as friendly out there as they were in Medford Square, except for Paul. Paul says…

Photo a Day: Dream Cake

Photo a Day: Dream Cake

This post isn’t called “dream cake” because it’s my favorite cake — it’s called that because I had a dream in which I ate almond-pistachio cake and I was so intrigued by it that I made up a recipe for it and tried to replicate it in real life. I thought it was a little…

PNDP – Portraits in Medford Square

PNDP – Portraits in Medford Square

Here’s PNDP assignment #3: portraits of strangers. I biked to Medford Square for this one. Getting 12 images was hard. I’m kinda shy, and this was a lot of people to ask for portraits. It worked out in the end, though. These days Teresa spends a lot of time in physical therapy and a lot…
