This boat is 40 centimeters from bow to stern. This photo was taken in the reflecting pool at the First Church of Christ the Scientist, Boston, Massachusetts.

Matthew Farnham sitting on Rue St. Catherines in Montreal. I only wanted his eyes to develop, and they came out fantastic. This is done in an 80's esque style.

He stood there at the corner looking out over everything for ten minutes. He didn't have anything to say. He just stood there and watched the world move.

 This is a portrait of Elitsa Papazova of Quebec and Bulgaria in Parc de la Fontaine Montreal. I really love how her eyes turned out. It actually does some justice.

 This is a portrait of Professor Emeritus Raymond Pelletier in Tenants Harbor, Maine.

 This is a portrait of Virginie Salilou of Brest, France, and Augusta, Maine. It did not develop properly.

 These are a set of experimental photographs I took.

 Busy, busy, busy.

Beneath the epitaph read "Can't buy me love because Nancy said so." Experimental photography abounds.

L'esprit des étrangers

The spirit of the strangers: the ability to tell an unfamiliar person life lessons and travesties past in an attempt to clutch at their heart strings and get closer as people.

                

Boston is a magical city. The old lives within the identity of the new. The people have got that funk, that grasp on life most other parts of the country can't understand. It loves itself like no other. Boston is among my most favorite cities on this planet.
