I don’t have much to say this week. I’ve still been cooking dinner for my family and my sister’s girlfriend every few nights, trying to create objects in physical space, and doing video calls with friends and Casey. But overall I’ve been barely functional. I had a back flare on Friday that I’m only now…
Yes, another week has gone by already. Just as I suggested in my zine about coping with cabin fever, and as I suspected might happen for me, I’ve become preoccupied with my houseplants. I’ve been spending a lot of time looking at them, trying to figure out what they need, and watching the heartleaf philodendron…
In my experience, week 1 of hiding from COVID-19 is about panic and anxiety, week 2 is about dread and making adjustments, and week 3 is about settling in. I’m still scared, frustrated, and fed up, but I’ve relied on the tactics I suggested in my cabin fever zine, and although I’m far from happy…
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.
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…
Here’s another from the archive: Cassidy, Haley, and Alex’s group senior portrait shoot. They’re a trio of friends who also went to Tufts, and they wanted some grad photos to send to family and headshots they could put on LinkedIn. Here’s what we came up with.
Tufts has a tradition called the illumination ceremony. 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. There are two illumination ceremonies every year: one in the fall to welcome new students, and one in the spring…
Last year, one of my old college suitemates reached out to ask me to take some group/family type portraits for her. She and her friends were graduating and going their separate ways after living together during school, and they wanted to commemorate their time together. So they packed up their trusty living room couch, brought…
Here’s another from the archives: some solo and family portraits I did for Kelly, one of the former captains of Spirit of the Creative, when we were both graduating from Tufts last year. She’s super tall compared to most of her family, but we got clever with the stairs outside Eaton Hall for some of the…
The United Food & Commercial Workers Local 1445 and Massachusetts Jobs for Justice held a rally at the Stop and Shop on McGrath Highway in Somerville today in support of Stop and Shop workers. At least 75 people came to march in the fire lane at the supermarket and sing chants supporting workers and denigrating…
