Well, here we are again. This week I cooked some barely edible food, ordered $120 of model-making supplies online, felt painfully tired and unmotivated, had some delightful and affirming phone/video calls with friends, and spent much more time than I care to admit arranging mirrors in my room to bounce sunlight around. I feel so…
Yes, another week has gone by already. Just as I suggested in my zine about coping with cabin fever, and as I suspected might happen for me, I’ve become preoccupied with my houseplants. I’ve been spending a lot of time looking at them, trying to figure out what they need, and watching the heartleaf philodendron…
My phrase for this week has been “Time is fake.” It sure does feel that way. I’ve seen a lot of people posting that March felt like it lasted much more than a month and April felt like it lasted much less. That’s been my experience too. I did not take a lot of pictures…
We’ve been doing this for a month now, apparently. I find myself overly stressed about the few obligations I still have, even though they’re all no big deal. I bet a lot of you feel the same. We’re all in crisis mode to some extent, and our bodies don’t know how to differentiate between stressors…
In my experience, week 1 of hiding from COVID-19 is about panic and anxiety, week 2 is about dread and making adjustments, and week 3 is about settling in. I’m still scared, frustrated, and fed up, but I’ve relied on the tactics I suggested in my cabin fever zine, and although I’m far from happy…
Here’s what I saw and did during my 2nd week of social distancing/quarantine/whatever you’d like to call it. My family and I are all doing well and staying in the house except for grocery and TP runs, walks around the neighborhood, and to hang out on the back patio.
My family and I have been staying home/away from others except for the rare grocery trip, to keep ourselves from being exposed to the COVID-19 virus and help flatten the curve. I’ve been doing a bunch of things to pass time. I made a t-shirt design. It’s also available as a tote bag, mug, a…
Here’s another from the archive: these promotional portraits of Sophia for their band Home Despot. This was a fun shoot! We went to Kelly’s Diner, a Ball Square staple, and shot in/near the Tufts Crafts Center, which is full of brightly colored surfaces and strange items to use as props. Assuming everything isn’t canceled for…
New post on Icons of Arlington! This one’s about the Plarning Brigade, a group of Arlingtonians who are making an installation out of repurposed plastic bags under the guidance of ACAC artist-in-residence Michelle Lougee. The project is ongoing and has regular workshops, so if you’re local and you like crochet and finding novel uses for…
Rohit Bhargava, the author of bestselling business book Non-Obvious Megatrends, hired me to take some photos showing the book at Hotel Commonwealth in downtown Boston. Non-Obvious Megatrends was part of a campaign by Bedside Reading in which every room had a copy of the book and guests could bring it home with them for free…
