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 a story for the New York Times about playwright Lydia Diamond and Peter Dubois, artistic director of the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston who is staging Diamond’s play “Stick Fly.” Diamond and Dubois where a blast to photograph together.

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

I had the pleasure of working with New York Times reporter Arthur Sulzberger on a story about how even Hyannisport, the home of the Kennedy compound, went for Scott Brown in the recent MA special election to fill Ted Kennedy’s senate seat. I was surprised to find out that this was far from the first time his hometown went for one of his challengers.

A very interesting story about Northeastern University’s Matthew Arena in Boston. It is the oldest indoor hockey rink still in use in the world. Formally known as the Boston Arena, it was the home of the Boston Celtics and the Boston Bruins.

A story by Michael Cooper photographed for the NY Times National Desk about construction workers in Fitchburg, MA and how they are being effected by the slow down in work. The Federal stimulus plan created some construction projects in the area but mostly only for small “shovel ready” jobs that could get off the ground quickly like repaving roads. Now since the cold of New England has moved in, work has all but stopped completely.
