COVID-19 Self-Quarantine Photos, Week 1

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…

Promo Photos for Home Despot

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…

Icons of Arlington: Plarn Art Project

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…

Non-Obvious Megatrends for Rohit Bhargava

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…

More from the archive: SoC Fall Show 2018

Hashtag throwback Thursday, I guess? I’m so behind on sharing older work, but I still want to share it. There’s some good stuff in there! Surprisingly, this isn’t the last SoC show I shot, even though I’d already graduated. I don’t photograph dance as often, but when I do, I’m always impressed by dancers’ physical abilities….

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…

Mayer Tree Service

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…

Sarabande Fall Show 2018

Another from the archive — Sarabande’s fall 2018 show. I shot that show a few months after I had back surgery and was still pretty early in my recovery. I felt uncertain about saying yes to taking photos of a dance show, because I knew it would require a lot of hurrying back and forth…

Christmas Illuminations Tour for Somerville Journal

Sometimes photojournalism is serious. Sometimes it’s scary. Sometimes it’s boring. Occasionally, it’s driving around Somerville taking pictures of the best Christmas lights. The Illuminations Tour is an annual event put on by the town of Somerville. Participants buy tickets and take a trolley tour through different neighborhoods to see the displays residents have erected this…
