Read MoreSummer Adventures
It's been a while since I've updated the blog, mostly because we've been out having awesome adventures! It's time to get back to work but first I thought I'd share some outtakes from our summer travels. I spent some time hiking Mount Washington with my good friend Matt Baldelli, fit in a little time at the beach, and a took a trip to Scandinavia with Maria. Enjoy!
Edible Boston: Indian Head Farm
I recently had the opportunity to photograph Indian Head Farm in Berlin, MA for a story in Edible Boston. The farm has been in the Wheeler family for almost 200 years. Think about that. Two. Hundred. Years. That's a farm founded before the Civil War. That's seven generations of farmers on the same land. That's a very long time. One of my favorite images from the shoot is an image of family pictures laid out on the table. When you're standing there looking out at the fields it's difficult to understand just how much history the family has there. The pictures provided a glimpse into that history.
It wasn't until after the shoot that we realized another way to showcase the span of time that the Wheelers have been there. When we put the images of James Wheeler and the oil painting of his great-great-great grandfather from the civil war next to each other it was striking how similar they look.

Improper Bostonian: Bartenders Feature
I have, over the past year, spent a lot of time in bars around Boston. That is, I have spent a lot of time photographing in bars around Boston for an upcoming self published book. In that time I've thought a lot about what makes a great bar, and as simple as it sounds, its a great bartender. Give me a dive bar with a great bartender over an expensive trendy bar any day. Great bartenders know that spirits can be as complex as wine and cocktails as nuanced as a delicious meal. They know how to borrow from the past and innovate to create something new. For this years Bartender's feature I got to photograph a few new faces and revisit a couple old friends. Check out some of the outtakes from the shoot and keep your eye out for our book coming soon.
Improper Bostonian: Spring Arts Feature
I've always been fascinated by performers. Actors, musicians, dancers, anyone who can get in front of a crowd and create magic before your very eyes. However, I think it's easy to forget that behind the scenes there's a whole team of folks that help to make it happen. I recently had the opportunity to get back stage at several of Boston's theatre companies and document the unsung heroes that keep the shows going. Shot for the Improper Bostonian's Spring Arts feature, below are some outtakes from the shoots.
