The annual trek down to the Cape is upon us! I shot three rolls of 120mm film on my Holga last summer, and then heartlessly allowed them languish at my old roommate’s place until only a few months ago. It was such a treat to open them up … Read More →

Hey good lookin’
What have I got cooking? I’m so glad you asked. I survived my first semester teaching, in no small part due to the number of evenings spent eating Old Bay fries and making ridiculous doodles with my design peeps: I met a 6-hour old Mollie Danger, the world’s … Read More →
Expansion
There are times in my life when I feel a lot like this scene in Amelie. I call them my Expansion Phases. Two weeks along in my first semester of teaching, they’ve been happening basically every Friday night as am packing up to take the train home. Its … Read More →
On thinking, making, and being present

Wreck ’em!
A while back, my dad digitized a large pile of old family photographs. This one of some 1942 Texas Tech cheerleaders has stuck with me more than most — my grandfather is the one on the far left — and over the last few weeks I’ve tried to do a bit … Read More →
Parents come to visit!
My parents came up to New England a couple of weeks ago to see the fall foliage for a few days before driving to Boston to visit me. The weather did not cooperate for the former, but did manage to play nicely for the latter. We had … Read More →
The growing gang…
Back from another lovely week on the Cape. Food was eaten, beaches were explored, sandcastles were built, fireworks were watched, bubbles were chased, s’mores were cooked, conversations were had, naps were taken, and books were read. We did the same things we’ve always done, and … Read More →
