LGBTattoo: Connecting to community and identity through body art I did this semester-long project for Gary Knight's class Advanced Documentary Practice, the second half of PNDP, during my last spring at Tufts. You can see it as a magazine layout in PDF format (with screen-reader accessible text) here, or read the entire essay below. Tattooing …
The end of Program for Narrative and Documentary Practice last semester culminated in a multi-week project about a subject of our choice. I chose hair, and started calling at barber shops and salons to see if they'd let me take pictures there. I learned a lot about hair, met a lot of cool hair stylists, …
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. …

Here's PNDP assignment #8: to shoot 6 pictures of highways and 6 pictures of the woods. I chose to do graphically matched pairs of photos to compare the two settings. Some of the parallels are obvious; others, less so. I'd love to hear what you think about it. For this assignment, I wanted to draw …
Here’s PNDP assignment #7: to capture animals and their relationship to the humans around them. Some pets are less popular than others. Most people are fine with having a cat or a dog, but would balk at the idea of sharing their space with a snake, lizard, or tarantula. I wanted to find out who …
Here’s PNDP assignment #6: go to another game by the same team as the previous assignment, and shoot away from the action. The writing assignment was a poem made out of conversations overheard at the game. Number 4! Mohammed, come back You can't let him get there On the ground There's still so much I …
Here’s PNDP assignment #5: to go to a Wonderland youth sports game and try to tell the story of it through photos. Also, to write a poem about it. I chose the Medford High School JV soccer team, photographed a game in disgusting rain, and wrote a poem inspired by this video. Even though The …
Here’s PNDP assignment #4: more portraits of strangers, but this time thinking about the concept of theophany (deities appearing to mortals in human form) while we were shooting. I went out to Revere Beach for this assignment. People were not as friendly out there as they were in Medford Square, except for Paul. Paul says …
Here's PNDP assignment #3: portraits of strangers. I biked to Medford Square for this one. Getting 12 images was hard. I'm kinda shy, and this was a lot of people to ask for portraits. It worked out in the end, though. These days Teresa spends a lot of time in physical therapy and a lot …
