I had the great pleasure of photographing Barry Katz and his daughter Lauren at their home in Sudbury, MA for Guideposts Magazine. Barry is the founder of Lotsahelpinghands.com, a website that people dealing with a family illness can sign up for free of charge to let their friends and family know what they could use during their time of need. It is a great idea to help organize the efforts of those who want to help a family overwhelmed by crisis. You can create a calender online that shows what kind of help is needed and lets volunteers sign up for specific tasks like rides, childcare, meals, etc… The concept was born out of Mr. Katz’s own experience with illness after he lost his wife Carole to ovarian cancer.

I photographed former US Poet Laureate and author Robert Pinsky at his home in Cambridge, MA for IL Magazine (Italy).
