The local weekly, The Bridge, asked me to photograph the Blessing of the Animals at Christ Episcopal Church in Montpelier. I thought this would be a short visit but the blessing came near the end of the service, so I had a while to wait. But that provided a few minutes to sit quietly, something I rarely do.

Snows of March
It snowed about a foot last week. It’s pretty much all turned to mud now, but it was beautiful while it fell and beautiful while it lasted.

Home Share Now
I’m working on a photo project for Home Share Now, a Barre, VT, organization that matches people with room to spare in their houses with people seeking a spot to live. The arrangements can be very successful and they seem to generate their own kind of interpersonal chemistry. Meet Monika and Cindy, above, who share Cindy’s home. The project will be done over the next […]
