Icons of Arlington: Arlington Reservoir Water Tower
“Wait,” you say, “Ray, didn’t you already write about the Arlington Reservoir?” Yes, I did. But there are actually two Arlington Reservoirs in Arlington. This is the other one.
Sew-cial Activism Costume Photos
Here’s something different: costumes. Last semester, the Tufts Drama and Dance Department offered a class called “Sew-cial Activism,” where students studied costuming as a form of political statement and made their own political costumes. See if you can guess what all these costumes are about. You can mouse over the images to see the answers….
Dance Performance Photography: Spirit of the Creative
Tufts dance troupe Spirit of the Creative had me shoot their show this fall. I’m scheduled to shoot their spring show in a couple of weeks. Check out their dance moves and great energy!

PNDP: Lynn
Here’s the second part of the abandoned first draft of my PNDP final project. I was going to look at economic inequality by comparing Manchester-by-the-Sea, the wealthiest town in the North Shore, to Lynn, the poorest. That didn’t work out, but I wound up with some nice landscapes. Click the thumbnails for a better view….
