Coup Boston
Visit www.coupboston.com to see the latest edition. I have a number of fun photos, including the fashion story, a romantic view of a cape weekend. You would never guess it was raining all day and the temperature never rose above 57 degrees, but I think you can tell the good spirit of the cast and crew, determined to get the shot. No special retouching on the model's goosebumps either!CoupBoston

Fierce Pride 1992 Opening Reception
Wow. It was such a wonderful evening at the Boston Center for Adult Education. The show looked beautiful, and the place was packed! Personally, it was incredible to see a project I did twenty years ago finally be completed and shown. The project was done out of my love of photography and it was incredibly gratifying to see it hanging as a show.
Big thanks to The History Project and the BCAE for the amazing opening. My show is up until June 30th, so if you haven't stopped by, please do.

Fierce Pride 1992 Opening
Twenty years ago, I gathered a group of friends, my camera and an 8 ft tall white board and went down to City Hall Plaza and later, the Boston Common, to document Pride. I had photographed Prides before, but this year, I wanted to concentrate on the amazing individuals who were living their lives out loud. I ended up photographing over 100 people.
Here’s what I wrote in 1992:
What a world! A world of wigs and false
eyelashes, rollerblades and beads, army uniforms and nipple rings, protest signs and rallying cries. For me, Pride celebrates our diversity and our common bonds. The streets are ours, and we can be together, hold hands, kiss, dress up, and of course, strike poses.

New! Coup Boston's First Issue
I was happy to shoot the incredibly lovely Alli Achtmeyer for the premiere issue of Coup Boston, a new fashion lifestyle magazine. I photographed Alli in her amazing Beacon Hill home and she is both quite stunning and very, very sweet. It's a good combination. Check out the magazine and my other story on Chef Wil Gilson.

April Boston Magazine
Here are two out-takes from my story in this month's Boston Magazine on the dog-washing store Durty Harry's, in Brookline, MA. At top are Michelle and Anne with Harry and Sadie, and below, Harry, being an incredibly great sport by having a second bath in one week. You can see he knows what's coming.
