This Sat and Sun: Somerville Open Studios!

Come see a ton of art! Come eat a ton of food!

Somerville Open Studios

My studio is at 86 Joy St, studio 4. Since it’s a little out of the way (#20 on the SOS map), there will be shuttles from Joy Street to other areas of Somerville.

I’m still figuring out what I’ll be hanging, but the following images are already framed and on the wall. I’m a bit all over the place in terms of artwork. I love all aspects of photography, so I have a bunch of different projects going on at any given time. I’ll be showing some film work, some digital, some Polaroids (including rare 20×24 Polaroid images that I almost never show), and whatever else I have time to prepare. I have large-format color urban landscapes at night, portraits, documentary travel work, etc.

I know, a flower picture. There’s something about this one that doesn’t feel cheesy to me, though. I printed it huge (I think 30×40).

These next few are from Italy. Florence, to be precise.

This one is one of my all-time favorite pictures I’ve ever taken. It’s one of those times where I got the perfect split-second where everything is perfectly placed in the frame. My photo hero Cartier-Bresson calls it the “Decisive Moment.”

Here are 2 of my Holga pictures. I’m showing 5. I still love using film and printing in a darkroom.
