My first photo shoot for Harvard’s Colloquy magazine.
In April I shot my first assignment for Colloquy. It’s the alumni magazine for Harvard’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. I shoot people, I shoot places, I love shooting people in places.

Entered Artist Wanted competition to potentially showcase my work in NY. Take a look & vote if you like what you see!

The design, layout, and color of this home would be ideal for everything from having a morning coffee with a close friend to getting some work finished before a deadline. I was hard pressed to find anything in the house that didn’t give me some sense of pleasure.
