Two weeks ago I spent the evening with the Harvard University seniors that developed the “The Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard” app on the iPhone. They were really generous with their time, and it was fun hanging out with them all. You can read the Wall Street Journal story here. And if you ever...

Flaky
For the first time in my life I sat for hours at an airport praying for snow. I was assigned to document Logan’s hi-tech snow removal operations Wednesday, but unfortunately the snow didn’t accumulate until after deadline. Instead of riding shotgun in a Vammas, I attended the snow planning meetings before spending the next few...
Voice
President Clinton came to Worcester again on Friday. It’s amazing how someone can string together a coherent, witty, logical and noteless 30-minute oration without so much as a stutter.

One Hen
Last week the Wall Street Journal assigned me to spend some time with Katie Smith Milway for a story about people who managed a healthy midlife crisis. Katie spoke to a middle school class about the product of her “positive midlife crisis”, an interesting children’s book about microlending: One Hen – How One Small Loan Made...
Firehouse Kitchen
A couple of weeks ago I went up to New Hampshire to spend some time at the Salem Fire Department’s Station #1 for AOL Living’s Real People Real Kitchens. There are more photos and words from this fun assignment here.
Port of Memory

The Dubai publication did a story on the Middle East International Film Festival that is going on right now and talked about Kamal’s new film Port of Memory. Kamal, who is a Radcliffe Institute fellow, will be showing some of his...
War Photographer
An assignment I shot in May is in Boy’s Life Magazine this month. In situations like the one below, the best vantage point is often a dangerous one. But, I was hoping if I knelt down low and in front of the soldiers (and their muskets loaded with marshmallows and cornstarch) I would avoid getting...
“A Good Sandwich is like an old friend”
FLYP Magazine sent me across the river to All Star Sandwich Bar in Cambridge a couple of weeks ago. I’m now a little embarrassed I hadn’t been there before. Buckets-of-beer, daily-made cheesecake, and some of the most thoughtful and impressive sandwiches I’ve ever witnessed (and yes, tasted). I’ll be back soon.
