11:00 am: Company photographer comes to my desk to ask a favor. CP: “So, you know how they always ask for last minute photography? Well, we have a dinner this evening, and I was just wondering if you were free and would be interested in shooting it?” Me: “Well, I kinda had plans for tonight, […]

At the last moment, I signed up for a color photography class with a meetup group that took us through the Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, MA. It was a beautiful fall day, and the teacher was marvelous. Our first assignment was to capture color in a spot and just to focus on the color […]
Trip to Washington D.C. – Washington Monument
Went to Washington, DC for an Administrative Assistant’s conference with my friend Leslie. While there, we decided to do some site seeing. Stopped at the Washington Monument.

Fiber Revival at Spencer Pierce Little Farm
A good friend told me about the annual Fiber Revival last year at another event, and said I needed to go. Plans were made, and early Saturday morning found me driving north to Newbury. What I liked most about the event is that there are only a handful of vendors (all of whom I have […]
