I really don’t like this holiday. I suspect a lot of you don’t either. But I still went and photographed the Boston fireworks from the park at the top of the hill that gives Arlington Heights its height. Photos and writeup here.
My newest post on Icons of Arlington is about Menotomy Rocks Park, a park I spent a lot of time in as a kid. I learned a lot about the park’s history, both ancient geologic and recent community history, while I was researching for this one. Content warning for non-graphic discussion of suicide in the…
I covered the annual Independence Day fireworks at Trum Field for the Somerville Journal last night. The evening was chaotic, and I’m not exactly proud of the United States right now, but the fireworks sure did look pretty. And it was good to finally do some press photography after a long stretch of mostly food…

Everyone gets an unlit candle, one chosen person lights theirs and touches candles with another person, and that person passes the flame on until everyone’s candle is lit.

I went to East Arlington’s 21st annual Feast of the East for Icons of Arlington. Write-up here.

This was the last dance show I shot at Tufts before graduating! It was a bittersweet moment for me and I imagine it felt that way for the dancers who were graduating too. What a great last show. P.S. The dance group Wuzee are in the second image. I’ve shot for them before too.
After a little break I’m back with a new post for Icons of Arlington! I was homeschooled, so I’ve actually never set foot in Ottoson, but I’ve spent some time in these woods and it sounds like a whole lot of other people have too. An interesting little place.
