Woodbooger Demolition Derby at Bolton Fair
I recently went to my first demolition derby.I found it shocking, obscene, and fun. The first collision scared me, but by the end I found the less violent impacts almost routine.
The return / black and white
It’s been a while! I haven’t really been shooting professionally since I got a full-time job in 2020. After a second spinal surgery about a year ago, I haven’t been shooting for fun much either. But I recently inherited a SLR from my grandfather. I signed up for a darkroom class in March so I…

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.

And it was good to finally do some press photography after a long stretch of mostly food…
