Peter Hook & the Light
Joy Division. New Order. Peter Hook. This is an impossible blog piece to write. If you get the chance to see him play these sonic narratives overlapping decades of music history: go.
Abracadabra! (New Explorations)
Today after voting and before I cover an election in Malden for the newspaper I had the luxury of returning to my work (at the Larcom Theatre) with the exceptional characters of Le Grand David and to see where the lives are heading since their historic run at the Cabot Theatre.
A Dream Sequence (A Series of Dreams)

Salem Willows
Tomorrow is Halloween and Salem, MA is quite the spectacle in celebration of another face of this unique city is a project that I've slowly (very slowly) started: Salem Willows.
Tiny House giant journey
I had the pleasure of spending some time with these amazing people and take a peek into their chosen odyssey. Head over to their incredible website to learn about what they are doing: http://tinyhousegiantjourney.com. Hoping to spend some more time with Guillame, Jenna, and their wonder dog Salies before they hit the road . . .
Abracadabra!
Currently revisiting the work I did with Le Grand David and the members of the show at the Cabot Theatre in Beverly, MA. More to follow as I build a gallery on my portfolio section and as I continue on a new path/new work with members of the show that ran for a world setting 35 years.
Nico in the North End
one of my favorite brick walls of all time; why? an optical illusion
Somerville Boxing Club
I was lucky this past week to find time to return to the Somerville Boxing Club and visit with the boxers and the trainers. I've added more photos to the portfolio and here are a couple for the blog.
Time Spent . . .
with my kids (their friends and random kids) on a day after school in early October. Back home my son once again poses so I can test a fifty year old lens and eventually my daughter agrees to pose for me too.
New 55: reinventing a legendary film
A couple of months before they successfully funded a Kickstarter campaign to reinvent one of the most ingenious Polaroid films ever devised by Edwin Land and his team: Polaroid Type 55. I had the wonderful opportunity to take portraits and hang out with these amazing individuals.
Here are the faces behind this new venture:
Artist Patrick McCay, New Hamphire
While working on an assignment for Design New England I was able to spend a fair amount of time working with the artist Patrick McCay up in his beautiful studio in New Hampshire. Here are some of the portraits that are not in the published article.
Chicen Itza
I visited Chichen Itza with my brother-in-law while on a family vacation. Pretty difficult to translate something as mythic making as Chichen Itza is. Imagination can run rampant especially when it comes to details such as the Great Ball Court; equally as fascinating to myself is the Mayan people who work inside and outside Chichen Itza for of course they are the present . . .
Visiting Family
Traveling to visit family allows me to step out of routine and explore people I have either known my entire life or have met for the first time. Other moments are excavated by breaking away from the group and meeting strangers while walking on the boardwalk of the Jersey Shore.
Martha’s Vineyard
One of the great benefits of editorial freelance work is travel. A ferry ride from Woods Hole to Martha’s Vineyard was an unexpected addition to my week. Before the shoot (portrait of William Taylor, founding editor of the magazine Fast Company), I walked around Vineyard Haven in the quiet early morning light. I met a man named Daniel who had recently moved to the island. I asked him if I could do his photo and he agreed. Another unplanned moment bore fruit.
