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.
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 . . .
Peter’s Hill.
The Guggenheim…
… only allows you to take photos in the lobby.
yoga, meditation, and botanicals
While in the inspiring setting of the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, we decided to make some yoga and meditation photographs for my sister to use when presenting her study about how yoga practice effects pain perception.
FODfest opening night: concert photography
Thursday night was the first night of a month-long tour for FODfest, a music tour honoring the life of journalist Daniel Pearl.
Daniel’s capture and murder by Al-Qaeda in 2002 became known to the world through video. Besides being a journalist, Daniel was a talented musician. When he traveled he looked for local people and places to play music with as a way to connect with the culture. In that spirit, FODfest travels to different cities and puts on a concert with a collective of local musicians who may or may not know each other. They get to know each other quick, and live in front of an audience—creating fresh and innovative energy every time! Many participating musicians are moved to share songs that speak to the message of Daniel’s Life and death. Learn more at FODfest.org.
