When my book, “The lawn was like a hay field,” was accepted into the Griffin Museum of Photography's 14th Annual Photobook Exhibition last May, I was somewhat concerned that because my entry was a hand-made, limited-edition book, if I only saved one for the show after selling the others, something might happen to the book prior to delivering it that would prevent me from showing it. Paranoid, I know, but that's the way my mind works; worst-case scenario ;-)

For years, my family and I have lived in the burbs. During most of those years, we went to and from work or school in vehicles—cars, buses, and trains—and rarely stopped to look around. People have their stuff hidden away from the streets, and those things are easily missed from a vehicle.

In a democracy, we have power—the power to vote for people and ideas.

We took down my show, “The lawn was like a hay field,” at the ALL Gallery in Lowell last weekend. The month really flew by! But a lot of you had a chance to see it, for which I am truly grateful. Of course, much of the work is viewable on my web site here, and the soft-cover edition of my book is available here.

A big “thank you” to everyone who came to the opening reception for “The lawn was like a hay field” this past Saturday; we had an amazing turnout!

My older brother is an Eagle Scout. I think he really enjoyed being a Boy Scout. His younger brother did not, which I think disappointed my parents.

Exciting news! My project, "The lawn was like a hay field," will be showcased at the Arts League of Lowell's Greenwald Gallery starting on April 24th! Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, April 27th, at 3pm. The reception is of course free and open to the public. 

The softcover version of my photography book, The lawn was like a hay field, is now available through my online store.

First the good news: The hand-made, first-edition of my book, "the lawn was like a hay field", sold out on the first day that I announced its availability!

The book, "the lawn was like a hay field", is a limited, first-edition, hand-made photography book recalling my life growing up in a small town in New Hampshire.

All 18 copies of my limited edition, hand-made photo book, "the lawn was like a hay field", are finished!

When I embarked on this project I don't think I was thinking that creating a book would be easy. But I don't think I knew how big this project would end up being either.
