portrait for acupuncturist
This week I had the pleasure of doing a portrait for passionate acupuncturist Scott Cedeno, owner of Beacon Street Acupuncture in Brookline.

I often tell people that getting your picture taken is like getting a hair cut during a transition in life: it can bring out something new you’re feeling or becoming, and put it out there for the world to see and admire.
Portraits often hold foreshadowing of one’s life’s direction that we only recognize looking back years later!
In that vein, I photographed Jessica who just moved to Boston to start a new job. We had a shoot as multifaceted at the young lady herself!

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.
Sunday afternoon in twos.
I took a walk with friends this past Sunday in the arboretum behind my house. I was in a “shooting two” mode I guess. Two of bamboo, two of Alexia, two of skyline . . .

Eugene Richards workshop: just a little change in the frame
I spent this weekend with renown documentary photographer Eugene Richards in an intimate group of photographers. Primarily we looked at and discussed photographic projects and worked through puzzles each of us are facing. I talked about my still-image image film (Ridiculous & Sublime: Life in an Inner-City Franciscan Monastery) and my current exploration of conflict and story structure. It was enlightening, challenging, and comforting to receive so much feedback from others who are in various stages of the creative process—and have the conversation lead by one of the best in the field.
We did do a little shooting: one “framing” exercise in which we photographed someone many times with varied framing but without changing our distance to subject. Here’s a few that I shot with my workshop partner and out & about in Woodstock, NY.
A new friend/fellow photographer posted a review of the workshop on his photography blog (www.terrymoorephotography.com). I agree whole heartedly with Terry’s evaluation of Gene’s humility, honesty, and openess to each person and way of working. Terry is beginning a very ambitious documentary project himself, about shifting coal and natural gas economies in Pennsylvania.
OK, so I moved for this shot but I couldn’t resist snapping a close-up of this big drooly mug!
