About Me

I like Movies: Breaking the Waves, Junebug, Morvern Callar, Adaptation, You Can Count On Me, The River, Lost in Translation, The Big Lebowski, Three Colours Trilogy, Stolen Kisses, Rushmore, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Five Obstructions, The Royal Tenenbaums, Trainspotting, Election, Underground, 2046, No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, and Elf.

I like spicy tuna rolls, pesto tortellini, shrimpburgers, and cheese grits.

I like Guinness, petite sirahs, dirty martinis, and Miller High Life.

I like music. I'm currently listening to Justin Townes Earl, Tristen, Damien Jurado, The Walkmen, Beirut, Neutral Milk Hotel, Andrew Bird, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, and Twin Shadow. For some reason I listen to Tupac while toning images (that is if I'm not listening to The Moth, This American Life, The Savage Love Podcast or Marc Maron's Podcast). I also listen to A Charlie Brown Christmas long before and after what is appropriate.

I live in Melrose, MA with my wife Brooke, the love of my life.

Ground Transportation

Thursday, March 22, 2012 5:34 pm

In the past 18 days I’ve been on 10 flights, photographed in eight towns in two countries and have eaten one pulled-pork sandwich honored by the James Beard Foundation (well, I had two of them). The journey started when I documented Melissa and Donny’s beautiful New Hampshire wedding before traveling to Mexico in between shoots in Maryland, Arkansas, and Colorado for a great organization called Cooking Matters. Lots of photos to share in the next several weeks. The one below is from a cab in Oaxaca where Esme and David got married.

Kansas City

Brooke and I took a trip westward last month. We visited our friends Adam and Melissa in Kansas City. They just bought a house and are expecting a baby. I’ve known Adam since he was a teenager. In fact, we partially regress to that age range when we reunite. But look at him all grown up!

Brooke and I have only lived in Melrose since August, but it seems much longer than that it’s felt like home.

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.
