Now based in Seattle, Washington
July 17, 2023

After twelve years in Boston, my family and I have moved back to Seattle. We last lived there almost twenty years ago and have been wanting to return for a long time. With our five-year-old about to start kindergarten, we decided that now was the time to move closer to family and old friends, and back to a region of the US we hold close to our hearts. 

My daughter and I spent June 2023 driving slowly across the country with stops to visit friends, family, and roadside attractions. 

We’re now settling into our new house in Seattle and I’m especially keen to explore with fresh eyes a region I’ve known all my life.

Image SELECTED for American-Photography 39 book
May 21, 2023

People gather outside the Boston Public Library in Copley Square to protest the Supreme Court's decision today in Dobbs v. Jackson, which overturns the constitutional right to abortion in the United States established in Roe v. Wade (1978), in Boston, Massachusetts, on Fri., June 24, 2022. A few different protest groups gathered in different parts of downtown and eventually converged in Copley Square.

One of my photos, of a group of protesters gather in Boston after the fall of Roe v. Wade has been SELECTED for inclusion in the American Photography 39 book.

In Bulgaria April 19 to 30, 2023
April 19, 2023

Lecturers at the MadePro.bg conference April 21-23, 2023.

I’m very excited to be returning to Bulgaria this week to participate in the MadePro.bg photo conference in Pomorie and then travel to Sofia to exhibit work from the Baltics and talk with local photojournalists. 

I last visited Bulgaria in 2016 to exhibit my work on the 2016 election with BG Press Photo and had such a wonderful time. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with the photo community there. 

In the Baltics May 5-16

Jūrmala, Latvia – 2004

From May 5-16, I’m taking my first international trip since the start of the pandemic and going to the Baltics, starting first in Riga, Latvia, and then Estonia. I first traveled in the region in 2004, when I just starting out with a camera and had a backpack full of hand-rolled tri-x and kodachrome(!). I was in Lithuania for Kaunas Photo Festival in 2016, but sadly didn’t travel any further northward that year. Looking forward to exploring a new place for a couple weeks. After that I’ll be back in Boston doing regular assignment work around New England.

Two New York Times front pages!
December 10, 2021

It was such a wonderful and exciting surprise to find my photos on two New York Times front pages last month, a first in my career. Both images were below the fold, but it’s such an honor to have my work featured so prominently in the paper. The two issues were the Oct. 10, and Oct. 28, national editions featuring coverage of Boston’s mayor race and damage in New England after a powerful Nor’easter storm blew through the region.

Thanks to the editors and designers, as always!
