Recent shoot for Inked Magazine of Boston Wonder-Chef Jamie Bissonnette of Toro and Coppa. If you’re ever in Boston, make sure to check out these awesome restaurants - really unique menus.
Top: Tufts/Oberlin Alum Doug Quin records sounds in nature around the world. We spent the day wandering the waterfalls of Syracuse. He’s worked on projects ranging from Disney to Werner Herzog.
Bottom Left: Boston-raised indie-rockstar / gifted author / all-around-brilliant-intellectual-starlet, Alina Simone has too much going on to catalog, but we (coincidentally) went to high school together and ended up reminiscing as we wandered the streets of Brooklyn with some vintage luggage.
Bottom Right: Country music writer turned world-traveling performer Darrell Scott drove outside the city limits of Nashville to get this shot on an abandoned farm. When he’s not playing his original work, he tours with countless greats including Robert Plant. Outtakes from a favorite Nashville club coming soon.

New story for Time and some news…
Time Magazine just posted a cool story for which I shot the photos - it’s about the (soon to be official) world’s largest tree house. I traversed the Tennessee Valley and spent the day with the self-ordained minister who awoke one day with “a vision from God to build a tree house, knowing the (he) would never run out of materials.”
Twelve years later, the tree house is 10 stories high and overseen by a cast of characters who will be touched on in the next installment of the story - for now check out the details behind the structure itself: Tree House Story.
Also attended the Magenta Flash Forward Festival in Boston and hung out with Doug Wallace from “Magenta Foundation” and Andy Adams of Flak Photo.
I was awarded a Bright Spark Award by Magenta for next year’s festival, see a list of the other winners here: Magenta 2011.

A recent shoot with Author Sean Manning. He wrote a moving memoir about caring for his Mother as she faded away at the hands of cancer. You can see “The Things That Need Doing” and some cool anthologies he’s edited here: Sean Manning on Amazon though I encourage you to buy these titles from your local independent bookstore.
