Miami

Last July I went to Miami with No Kid Hungry. We worked a lot in the middle of the day with little or no shade. I think it was one of the more difficult photographic situations I’ve found myself in recently. Although this took a back seat to what my New England hypothalamus was going through as it […]

No Kid Hungry

Earlier the summer I took a couple of trips to Richmond and the D.C. area for No Kid Hungry. You can’t beat working for this organization. The people I get to be around are always inspiring, and their first step to the infinitely complicated problem of inequality is so simple and immediately effective: Breakfast.

The shoot was just like an engagement session . . .  that lasted two days and involved 10 people : ) The couples were patient and delightful to work with. I loved collaborating with creative director Nako Okubo, and I […]

Jeff visited Stephens Elementary School to thank a staff that is providing breakfast in the classroom for kids whose last meal may have been their school lunch the previous day.

I met Beth Roche who watched her daughter cross the finish line just before the first blast severely damaged her left leg. Beth is hoping she’ll be able to go home soon, but […]

9tailors

I just heard we’re getting more snow. Perhaps now would be a good time to journey back towards fall, a time of year when the light is still warm and our outlook on life a little brighter. Reminders of sunshine from this 9Tailors shoot might help to carry us through March where hopefully spring will […]

9tailors

It was so fun the first time, we did it again. A couple of weeks ago I spent a few days with 9tailors exploring downtown and the seaport district. Thank you to Sam, Alex and Austin for making sure everything ran smoothly. And thank you to all the stylish 9tailor clients (including cameos by the […]

Cooking Matters

In March I traveled to Maryland, Arkansas and Colorado for Cooking Matters. The organization teaches families to make better decisions while grocery shopping and preparing meals. Cooking Matters wanted to see the impact of their classes, so I traveled with an independent researcher to observe graduates grocery shopping and making meals in their kitchens. Participants […]

Health Care

In December I took a trip up to Beverly to spend an afternoon with Dr. Daniel McCullough. McCullough was part of an interesting Wall Street Journal story about the future of health care.
