"Ready for Fetty"

Monday night, at around 9:30pm, we (The Huntington News) had discovered that Fetty Wap's publicist had invited us to cover their show at the House of Blues.  Tuesday night, at around 9:30pm, Fetty Wap was looming over me as I stood in the photo pit, covered in a lovely blend of camera gear and confetti.

It's been a good week.

Fetty Wap performs his hit "Trap Queen" to a full house at Boston's House of Blues.

As I edited the photos from the night, I found myself constantly being drawn towards black and white.  Much of this urge has to do with my admiration of Greg Noire's work this past year - and I can see myself spending a lot of 2018 pushing out a lot more black and white concert photos.

Here's the full gallery from Fetty Wap's performance, and a link to the write-up I did for The Huntington News.

A Rainy Morning at Larz Anderson

While the weather unfortunately scared off a large portion of attendees, the light showers during this morning's Tutto Lite event at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum proved to be quite photogenic.  With vibrant yellows and reds popping against the wet grass, it was both a photographer's dream and nightmare as I drifted across the lawn through the rain with my very non-weather-sealed 1970's lens.

A followup event to the museum's Tutto Italiano, Larz Anderson was the temporary home to a lovely collection of Italian automobiles today.  Arriving quite early to a lineup of only a Ferrari 330 GTC, 612 Scaglietti, and an Alfa Romeo Guilia Spider, I was a bit anxious about the impact the forecast would have on the event's turnout.  Luckily, a parade of Alfa Guilia's and various Ferrari's arrived over the course of the next few hours, only to suddenly disperse around noon when the rain briefly picked up.  Nonetheless, it was a morning well spent.

Portfolio Site Launch

With my personal site in the home stretch of its redesign and other, more pressing programming-related side projects in the near horizon, I've decided to use Squarespace to build and manage my photography portfolio.  I have to say, this process has been incredibly satisfying, and making a clean website in such a small amount of time is staggering to me.
