Something different: my shoot for the Epiphany School
Oct 8
Earlier this summer I did a pro bono project for the Epiphany School, an independent Christian school for disadvantaged kids in Dorchester. They’re close to the studio, and we’ve been donating excess food from our shoots to them for some time. I spent four days with them and worked with Alicia Pritt of Theory One Design. Here’s the cover of their annual report, and a sample spread.
Getting back to on-the-go hand-held people photography, a genre where I began my career, was refreshing. More than this, I felt a huge amount of excitement and respect for what was going on in these classrooms. You could see these kids were learning how to be successful!
How I’m processing 9/11
Sep 10
Hi. Tomorrow will be a difficult anniversary for many of us. Everyone will have their own way to deal (or not deal) with their memories of that day, and as I thought about how I might want to spend my time, I decided it should be doing something concrete and life-affirming. So tomorrow I’m participating in a stationary-bike ride to raise money to help the poorest women, many of them widowed, in Afghanistan. I’m raising money for “Beyond the Bike” – a foundation started by two Boston women who lost their husbands on 9/11.
Here’s a short video about Beyond the Bike.
In a very short time my generous friends have helped me raise almost $1,400 for this cause, but I still have a bit to go to reach my goal of $2,000. If you feel moved, please take a look at my donation page and consider helping in this effort. Thank you.
