EVICTED
EVICTED
I was the photographer for three media installations for the exhibition, EVICTED, at Washington, DC's National Building Museum. The exhibit is based on the book Evicted by Matthew Desmond. It portrays the causes and impacts of eviction on American families. (on display 2018-2019)
I attended eviction court hearings and documented two families each impacted by eviction in some capacity.
Some selected images from the exhibition below.

A day with Joanne Chang of FLOUR Bakery
Joanne Chang begins each day with her bread and butter, and then makes her way through Boston to visit each of her 7 restaurants, giving EVERY staff member a proper hello along the way.
I met Joanne Chang indirectly through my work on “In the Company of Women”. We were both asked to speak on a panel in Boston about Women in Business, but to be honest I had already over-ate at her restaurants many times. Joanne is the founding Pastry Chef and owner of the Boston based, FLOUR BAKERY & Cafe, as well as Meyers + Chang in the south end. Joanne now has 7 FLOUR locations, plus headquarters where a lot of the product is baked, and she makes it a point to go to as many locations as she can each day… to check in, say hi to all of the staff, and of course hit up the snack bin to taste all of the treats.
I joined Joanne on her rounds through Boston a few months back, so I could document a day in her life, and see how the whole FLOUR operation runs. Joanne's positive, hardworking and caring personality is reflected in the FLOUR brand from food to employees... If you haven't been- GO and get the infamous sticky bun (PICTURED BELOW) and say hi to Joanne if you see her!
2017 weddings: unscripted
My favorite moments from the 2017 wedding season.
8 . 21 . 17 NYC ECLIPSE
When something is happening in New York City- everyone feels connected. Whether its a snow storm, a rally, an opening of a new restaurant in your neighborhood, getting stuck on the subway, or whatever else the city throws at you... we are all in it together.
Yesterday, NYC was buzzing with energy and excitement about the Solar Eclipse. Spectators flooded the sidewalks, shared solar eclipse glasses and homemade pinhole projectors. I went to midtown, squeezed my way through the crowds and photographed the people, and the commotion.

NYFW 2017
An inside look at New York Fashion Week 2017 !
I never realized everything that goes along with the NYFW shows....it was an eye opening experience to be part of these events. From seeing the actual production set up, to the all the backstage prep with hair, makeup and models, to the celebrities and eccentric characters that attend the shows- it's a whirlwind of energy and excitement that happens throughout the week. Heres a few moments from a couple of the shows that I covered for The Daily Front Row.
2016 weddings : unscripted
One aspect of wedding photography that keeps me engaged is searching for the unscripted moments. This year I was fortunate to work with a lot of amazing people, travel to some incredible places, and capture some really special unscripted moments. Without further ado - here are a few of my favorite photographs from the 2016 season of love.

Rocky Slims
Last year, I spent a day working with Chef Angelo Romano photographing his beautiful food in his new Italian restaurant on the corner of 25th and 3rd in NYC, Rocky Slims. Found this post on my desktop and have been meaning to get it up on the blog.... so here it is. I shoot food too!
DAN MILLS in Studio
Dan Mills is working on a new (insanely good) album thats going to be released sometime in the next few months. Dan, Mark Goodell and Adam Podd have been working together for years making music and its pretty amazing seeing these songs and this whole vision come to life. They have been recording out of The Seaside Lounge in Brooklyn and when I can, I try to pop by document these moments that I know will be forever cherished. This weekend a few incredibly talented musicians stopped in to record... Lauren Pritchard and her amazing vocals and Owen Broder on the clarinet. A few moments from the session below.
Peter Barbee X MONROWE MAGAZINE
I was in LA about a month ago and collaborated with Peter Barbee of Among Savages and Shelby Simon- an old friend who's an amazing LA based stylist.
We shot a few looks in the Mount Washington area...Peter lives in this incredible tiny back house in the mountains that we used for our location. (i also want to live there) We also ventured over to Galcos Soda Pop Stop and Highland Park.
Monrowe Magazine did a feature a few weeks ago. Link below as well as a few more photos from the shoot!
The North End
I truly miss the energy of New York, and I'm on a constant search for it in Boston. I explored the North End a bit and came across Haymarket. I felt alive when I heard the sounds, calls and commotion at this outdoor market.
A few photos from that day. If there are places I need to visit- let me know!

Dick Carlotta
I spent the weekend in the Berkshires in Stockbridge, Massachusetts with some good friends. On my way out, I stopped in this little coffee shop / bookstore in town called Stockbridge Coffee & Tea. This gentleman was sitting so pleasantly in the corner and the lighting was so nice that I had to grab my camera and take his photo. After speaking with him, I learned that the painting on the wall is actually him sitting in that exact spot with the exact sunlight and shadows on the wall. His sister, Lois Van Cleef, painted this image and has it displayed right above his spot in the shop. If you visit Stockbridge, grab a coffee at the shop and tell Dick "Hi"... and make sure you don't take his seat!
