Husky: Mandy & Rufus

A recent rush assignment had me trying to get photographs of people/pet interaction. It rained most of the day I had to do this and the sky was dim and especially difficult for shooting indoors with ambient light. Cat photos were hit and miss but mostly a miss despite the great subjects. I was lucky enough to get introduced to this magnificent husky and his amazing guardian. With virtually no winter in Boston this year, a small pack of snow still on the ground was just enough to give me the scene I needed for some great outdoor photos. These photos were part of my successful shots that day and came through for me. If we do finally get a snow storm in Boston before spring I’m taking the invitation to photograph Rufus and his his husky bretheren doing a run in the snowy woods. Could be next year though.

Vijay Iyer at Berklee

Back in December of 2011, pianist Vijay Iyer was in Boston to give a joint concert with Miguel Zenon at the Berklee Performance Center. I was one of  the few people fortunate enough to be at the intimate class Vijay gave in a Berklee classroom – as a photographer for the Celebrity Series of Boston – where students got a glimpse into his thinking and playing. A special opportunity to hear one of the new generation of jazz musicians exploring and redefining the jazz language.
