  In Memoriam - Adam London  

The City of Newon tragically lost a young member of the community this week with the passing of Adam London, a Newton North Senior and star lacrosse player. I had never met Adam (he was five years younger then I) but did have a class with his sister, Katie. Below is a collection of photographs that Katie asked me to put together in a collage to remember her brother by. Although I did not know Adam, it's evident that he was very loved by his family, teammates and friends, and will be greatly missed by all.


Please send your thoughts & prayers to Adam's family & friends.




  Linda Pizzuti Henry and Kelly Boullet - After the Game  

A couple of weeks ago I photographed Linda Pizzuti Henry and Kelly Boullet for their new cribs-like show coming to NESN in September, "After the Game". With this show Pizzuti Henry and Boullet hope to highlight the lives of professional athletes off the field, at home and as they participate within the community. Stay tuned for photos from their Fenway Park launch party!





  Icon Aircraft - Institute of Contemporary Art  

Venture capitalists and intrigued enthusiasts gathered for a private showing of Kirk Hawkins new toy, the Icon A5 flying machine. Not only does this ultra-light aircraft navigate the air with style, but it also lands on water and can be towed home on the back of your car. Icon has created the ultimate must-have in luxury sport flying. It's even listed in the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog.



The inside of the A5 is very straightforward and simple.




The event was produced by Salter Frieze Events of Boston.



Sleek lines of the wing.

A comfortable fit for two!

  Horseback Riding Lessons - Make-A-Wish Foundation  

Working with Make-A-Wish is one of my favorite things to do. A few weeks ago I photographed a little girl whose wish it was to take horseback riding lessons. Make-A-Wish Foundation hooked her up with a beautiful and gentle horse named Simon.


Her expressions were so adorable.


This is Simon's owner who gives lessons in the back of her Wayland home.



Getting acquainted.



Her Mom joined us for a photo.



My favorite.


Hugs for Simon.



** Most photos were taken with the Nikon D3. I'm a long time Canon guy but wanted to try the D3 (which I liked very much!)
