teenage yoga
Last week I had the pleasure of photographing a high school yoga class. In collaboration with the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, Monument Mountain High School is offering yoga as part of their physical education curriculum, and Harvard researchers are studying the effects.
winter chickadees!
Saturday a friend and I visited the Audubon reserve in Ipswitch to hang out with the winter flock of chickadees. The same birds would come back again and again for seeds. It turns out that they hide them and can remember thousands of hiding spots!
Rachel lures the chickadees with a smile and patience!
pondering creation and humanity at the Museum of Natural History
Last week I visited the Harvard Museum of Natural History. I’m generally an art-museum goer and was astonished by what was in this collection. Whether or not you’re versed in science, seeing things from outer space and ages long ago gives our humanity a whole new context.
I’m going to add the museum to my list of “must-see” for all who visit me in Boston. Don’t miss this! Admission is only $10 and includes admission to the anthropological museum as well (I didn’t make it over there as I spent over 3 hours lost in natural history!).
This flower, along with 800 other botanical models, is made of glass! Simply unbelievable, and amazing to see both exotic and familiar specimens up close inside and out.
Meteoroids! Do you have any idea how far this traveled to end up here in Cambridge?! And what it went through as it entered Earth’s surface?

new photo exhibition
Visit my exhibit—Conversations with Nature—in the beautiful Central Path Wellness Center in Waltham and get a free consultation and discounted acupuncture treatment!
Conversations With Nature observes people in the natural world. How we name these interactions—exploring, playing, viewing, seeking, uniting with—reveals our own personal relationship to nature. The photos are grouped together to reveal the place itself, an individual’s experience, and how many elements coalesce into a single natural moment.
portrait session
This week I photographed Deb Howard, Executive Chef at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.
I also shot her with her partner in crime, nutritionist John Bagnulo.
a walk at Kripalu
I was at Kripalu on Tuesday shooting some portraits and video for their marketing department. Jess and I took the chance to talk a little walk together.
