Woodbooger Demolition Derby at Bolton Fair

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.

COVID-19 Self-Quarantine Photos, Week 4

COVID-19 Self-Quarantine Photos, Week 4

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…

COVID-19 Self-Quarantine Photos, Week 2

COVID-19 Self-Quarantine Photos, Week 2

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.

COVID-19 Self-Quarantine Photos, Week 1

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…

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

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

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

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

Christmas Illuminations Tour for Somerville Journal

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…
