2022 Days in a year Review
Looking back on the ninth straight year of my photo-a-day project. Way back when I was just 144 days into the first year, I sat down and made a 12×12 grid of the days and wrote this: “The public side of the project is less important to me at this point and I just want…

Maine Farms Journal
Way back in September, I was lucky enough to visit Daybreak Growers Alliance for a story in Maine Farms annual journal on new kinds of CSA models. Daybreak is a women-owned, year-round custom vegetable and product box that sources from 70+ farm and food businesses to aggregate, market, and deliver high-quality food. Rather than just getting a standardized…

Thoughts on flying home from filming the UTMB
I went back to Chamonix, France for a second time this summer to film the UTMB race for a running industry brand as part of a film by Ryan Scura over at Dooster and Andy Cochrane. They have been working on this project for the past couple of months and I was just filling in…

Sunday Run in Cape
A new potential client reached out for some summer New England trail running photos with strong summer vibes. They mentioned costumes and my friend Emma Sloan knew just what the runners should wear. She and my wife Emma (also an Emma S) sported two colorful tracksuits from her mom’s time on the US Olympic Marathon…

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan for The New York Times
A little before Christmas, I got an email from an editor at The New York Times to photograph a story on Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan down in Providence, where he used to live. This wasn’t my first portrait assignment for the Times but I’d only done a handful of stories for them before…

The First 100 Days of the Year
I’ve posted the first 100 days of the ninth straight year of my Days in a Year project and it feels a lot like the marathon training I’m currently a few months into. It never really gets easier, every run and every photo takes effort and showing up and sometimes you find these moments of…

Providence Parks for The Trust for Public Land
As a kid, Providence was cool to me because it hosted a big skateboarding competition called Gravity Games and we would get Awful Awfuls at Newport Creamery. As an adult, Providence is cool because it’s a human-focused city that’s revitalizing greenspace and making it safer and easier to get around as a pedestrian or cyclist.…

Five Years of MIT Fellowship Portraits
I was going through some recent archives as I update my portfolio website and was struck by the mountains of portraits I’ve taken at MIT over the years. Most of this work has been for the MIT News website but I’ve also done some special projects for different departments. For the past five years, I’ve…

The Vermont town that bought a ski mountain
Yesterday, the Times ran a story on Mount Ascutney in Vermont where I had photographed a story back in 2017 for The Trust for Public Land. We had actually planned on photographing the story in the winter of 2016 but there wasn’t enough snow so we pushed everything back a year. The story started in…

Trees from the road
Back in December, I traveled around the country for a few weeks for a client. I knew I’d be spending just a night in each location with almost a dozen flights and rental cars over the course of the trip. I needed a meta-game to keep myself sane with the long days of travel and…
