As I started this post, and thinking about the what I’m planning to write, Nelson Rangell’s rendition of “To Begin Again”, started playing in my head. It’s a fitting piece for the images I’m about to share, so I titled this post the same. I don’t usually post about the weddings I photograph, but something…

Looking Back at Sam Abell
This past weekend, I decided to take some time for myself and do a little street photography. After easily finding a parking along Boston’s Public Garden (not an easy thing to do, usually), I stepped out of the car and saw my first shot: a woman, on the other side of the park fence, sitting…
The Fourth 2018
Jonathan spent almost a week with me during his July 4th vacation, and, on the 4th, I took him to the city to ride the swan boats before taking back to his residence. It was a very bright day, but, amazingly, it was quiet. There were no crowds to speak of. Nothing going on out…
Tengo Tango
[one_half padding=”0 5px 0 0″] I recently moved into an apartment in Revere, MA right on Revere Beach. Though as of this writing, it’s still in disarray, I had my flute teacher, Eduardo Gomez, his wife Iva, and son, David, over yesterday so that they can enjoy the beach. I was scheduled for a lesson,…
A Rainy-er Good Time
After receiving a call from a friend who was visiting Seattle on business, Carline decided to book an impromptu flight to see her. Obviously, I tagged along since it gave me an opportunity to hang out with my friend Matt Gore (https://www.lightandmatter.org/staff-contributors-2/). Carline and Amrita met at the Isha Hatha Yoga Institute in Coimbatore, India,…
It’s Been A While…
After 28 years, we finally went back to Puerto Rico. We weren’t supposed to go there. We were headed to Peru, but the flights were booked and we couldn’t get on standby. The Puerto Rico flight was quite empty. We arrived in San Juan and stayed at the Ciqala Luxury Suites; a quaint, but nicely…
A Day of Freedom
I usually do my street photography on the weekends in downtown Boston. This past Saturday, Sadhguru, who created the Isha Foundation, held a talk at the Back Bay Event Center. Besides spreading his wisdom, he was promoting his new book on Inner Engineering. Carline and I attended the same talk last year. Since Carline is…
In Spain…
Spain: home of paella, flamenco, sangria, horchata and lisps. A beautiful country rich in culture with modern conveniences, and architecture that will “wow” even the dullest of us. It’s quite different, historically, than Greece and Italy, for example. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s “less ancient” than the other two, at…
In Norway…
Carline and I started our vacation in Oslo, Norway. We were only here for one day, so we had to make the best of the time we had to visit the city. The first thing we noticed is how quiet the airport is. Before taking the shuttle to our hotel, we sat and had tea,…
Looking for Inspiration
Convention Convention This year I finally decided to attend the PhotoPlus convention that’s held in New York City. I say finally because every year for the past few years, my friend, Matt Gore would ask me if I will attend, and I always decline for some reason or another. Since I now live in Massachusetts, I…
