NESNE Awards Banquet
I was honored to be recognized in the NESNE (New England Society of News Editors) awards banquet back in May at the Boston Globe. It’s always a nice surprise to be honored and wonderful to spend time with colleagues and friends.

Fall in the White Mountains
Fall in New England is wonderful and I recently spent a few day in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I was greeted with a variety of weather conditions making for some great photography and leaf peeping.
Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands might arguably be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Here are a few images from my recent trip to the British owned island.
NESNE Spring Awards Celebration
I was honored last night during the (NESNE) New England Society of News Editors spring awards celebration at the Boston Globe where one of my sports photographs was selected as a finalist in the Best Sports / Feature Photo category. I love knowing that some of the images I capture standout and I appreciate being recognized for the work I love to do.
Active Shooter Training
"Block your ears" was all I heard before a piercing gunshot rang out.
I was assigned to cover an active shooter training inside the abandoned Osgood Landing site in North Andover with officers from the North Andover and Lawrence Police Departments. It's an honor to be invited to these types of training exercises and be given the opportunity to document the important work that goes into ensuring the publics safety.
2017 Photojournalist of the Year!!
I was honored to be named the 2017 Photojournalist of the Year in the annual New England Newspaper and Press Association Better Newspaper Competition. Below are my winning entries for 2017. I had a great time celebrating with my colleagues last night at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel, congratulations to all the nominees.
Joe Biden American Promise Tour
Photographing celebrities or high end officials usually comes with some restrictions. This time was much different, I was graciously invited inside (after a pat-down, of course) and for the most part was given access to freely walk around the auditorium while Vice President Biden spoke.
Former Vice-President Joe Biden answers a question asked by Samantha Power, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations, during their conversation as part of the Joe Biden American Promise Tour at the Chevalier Theatre in Medford on Thursday, Feb. 1, 2018.
Army National Guard Deployment
I was assigned to cover the 151st Regional Support Group, Massachusetts Army National Guard deployed recently. The group will be deployed to southwest Asia for nine months and held a deployment ceremony at Reading High School. These assignments usually present opportunities to capture raw emotion but you need to be in the right place at the right time because moments like these don't last to long.
2017 Sports Photos of the Year
Take a look at some of my favorite sports images of 2017.
2017 General News Photos of the Year!!
Here is a small selection of some of my favorite news photos of 2017.
Lighthouses and Sea Smoke
It's not often I have an opportunity to photograph sea smoke. I was lucky yesterday as mist rose from the 45 degree ocean into the 3 degree air. The only way to capture striking images is go out into the cold and check and scout for locations. Landscape photography benefits greatly from severe weather conditions, so pay attention to the forecast and plan wisely. It took me two days of early mornings, planning, and the right conditions to capture these images.
Birds of Prey at Parker River
I was fortunate to have found a Snowy Owl as well as a Northern Harrier at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge while out photographing on Plum Island. You never know what you'll find when you head out to look for wildlife. There have been many hours spent in the field where I come up with no photographs. Sometimes you spend hours looking and hoping to find something but it doesn't always works in your favor. I know one thing, you'll never be able to capture images of wildlife if you never venture outside.
Arizona from Up Above
I don't see the earth from 30,000 feet everyday, so when I take a plane ride I like to look for different patterns in the landscape. On a recent trip to Arizona I photographed these mountains while on my plane ride back home. As soon as I saw the landscape I knew I had a short opportunity to try and capture the interesting lines and details on the ground below me before my opportunity had past. I like to photograph in color but with a hazy view out a dirty airplane window muted the colors so I was already pre-visualizing in black and white.
Boston Bruins Shop at Walmart
The entire Boston Bruins team took a little bit of time out of their days to shop for gifts to be donated to area hospitals around Boston for children who are unable to celebrate the holidays at home. This event is part of the Bruins Annual Holiday Toy Shopping event at Walmart in Saugus. The players had full run of the store and were scattered throughout all the different departments. It was nice to have complete access to the players and be able to photograph them on their shopping spree.
Fenway Gridiron Series
I never thought I'd be photographing a football game at Fenway Park. Masconomet and Everett High School competed as part of the Fenway Gridiron Series. Since the location of the game was special I spent some time looking for a vantage point to show the stadium including the famous "Green Monster." The game ended with Everett winning 36-20.
Mid-Fall Update
Shown below is a small selection of images from assignments around the North Shore mostly from the past few months.
Sawyer Pond Backpacking Trip
I recently went on my annual backpacking trip to Sawyer Pond in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. The images displayed below were all taken at sunrise on very cold autumn mornings. The frigid mornings created a thin mist of fog that rolled off the water making for dramatic images as the sun peered over the summit of Owls Head Mountain.
President Calvin Coolidge Summer White House
I was assigned the Northshore Magazine's 12th annual Best of the North Shore party. This is an event for business owners around the Northshore who were awarded with a party at the Swampscott White Court Estate which was the former Summer White House for 30th President of the United States Calvin Coolidge in 1925.
