June 4, 2021

In the May 10, 2021 issue of Time, my portrait of cartoonist Alison Bechdel accompanies an interview about her work and her latest book, The Secret to Superhuman Strength, which chronicles her lifelong obsession with exercise. A big thanks to Kim Bubello and the rest of the team at Time for the great assignment and great play in print and online.

You can see a few more images from our afternoon in the Vermont woods near her home in the Recent Work section of this site. The images are available to license through Redux.

Tearsheet: Flying cars and New Hampshire’s “Jetsons Bill” for Bloomberg Hyperdrive
March 14, 2021

Last fall I worked on an incredible story about flying cars for Bloomberg's new future of transportation vertical Hyperdrive, published this week. Flying cars are the the perennial just-around-the-corner technology of 1950s dreams, but now there are at least two companies with plans to take their inventions to market, one of which is actively doing test drives and flights in New Hampshire. The reason that New Hampshire has become a focal point of Terrafugia's and Pal-V's flying cars (or "roadable aircraft," officially) is that last year the state passed the so-called Jetson's Bill, the first law of its kind in the United States, which provides a legal framework for regulating the usage of flying cars on roads and in the air in the state.

Tearsheet: Sustainable Urban Garden and SuperUROP collaboration for MIT Spectrum Spring 2020
August 12, 2020

In the Spring 2020 issue of MIT's beautiful Spectrum magazine, which is widely distributed to the greater MIT community including alumni and donors, I've got a big double-truck featuring a shoot from last year on a student initiative to demonstrate sustainable urban gardening (also published online). As always with the Wide Angle feature spot, the layout demands dictated shooting. The designers always do a wonderful job making the pictures sing while providing a lot of information about the subject matter, but it can be a bit tough trying to fit everything into the frame while leaving substantial space for the text.

At left, also, is how a series of shoots showing SuperUROP collaborators from around the Institute was presented in the July 2020 Spectrum email blast, also available online.

A big thanks, as always, to Beth at Spectrum for the assignments and for help and guidance during the shoots.

New York Times Tearsheet – Semper Ficus: Office plants left behind during the pandemic
June 30, 2020

What a rare treat it is to get a full page of the New York Times devoted to photos, and even more surreal when it's the end result of letting my mind wander a bit in the shower. I started thinking one day about what happened to all the desk plants left behind when offices were abandoned at the start of the pandemic in March and started making a few calls to see if the interior plant services were still operating during stay-at-home orders.

Thanks to Brent Murray, photo editor for the NYT Sunday Business section, for being receptive to the pitch and supportive throughout the process, to the design team for figuring out what to do with all my verticals, and to the owners and employees of Plantwerks, Cityscapes, and Garden Streets for letting me follow along as they cared for their plants in offices around downtown and suburban Boston.

I'm especially proud of what you can see below, which is my first byline in the Times. I've done assignments for the paper off and on since 2005, but having my name at the top of the piece is a first. I only wish I'd been the one to come up with "Semper Ficus"...
