Geekhouse Cyclcross Party--2010
Last Monday my friend Marty Walsh threw his annual Cyclecross party at Cambridge's Middlesex Lounge. Men in women in loud pink and green colored lycra kits danced the night away after a impressive display of strength, mental fitness and beer consumption in the Bold Sprints competition.

Fashionistas, Yogis and Designers--OH MY!
November 2010--
My friend and recently voted fashion cream of the crop in Boston Naomi Mirando contacted me a few weeks ago about shooting Doreen Hing, a Boston-based fashionista with a knack for designing yoga accessories. Plank, her company, combines her cheeky British humor with swanky designs that yoga and fashion enthusiasts a like can agree on. FINALLY, a line of Yoga accessories that don't make me feel like envisioning Tevas, Whole foods and ill fitting pants in earthen tones everytime I enunciate the word Yoga. She spent the weekend of November 12th at the Louis Boston waterfront location with one mission: to get as many passer byers as possible to participate in a quick, refreshing 30-minute yoga sesh.
BUT BUT BUT--YOU MAY OBJECT.
OBJECTION. What if they are not attired in proper stretchy garb.
*Ahem.* May I divert your pessimistic attention to..
THIS. Four plus inch heels. In a dress. Doreen is trying to show both the yoga and fashion worlds that both the active and the suave can coexist in one harmonic moment. There's no need for a specialization in wardrobe as far as yoga is concerned--you have a spare minute in your office?
No. Big. Deal.
Out with your friends, say on a leisurely stroll at the waterfront?
Sport a lotus for a moment of careful contemplation.
Worried your kids will impede on your practice?
...don't knock it until you try it.
Here are some of her new products and totes. Check her out!

CARRIERS A YOGA MAT AND BOOTS!?!?!? GET RIGHT OUT OF TOWN!

Projects, Projects AND MORE PROJECTS
Summer/Fall 2010--
Wow. It's been far far too long since I've updated this. I promised myself I would try to create an update every two weeks, at minimum, to ensure that I'm really pushing myself photographically, but obviously the former has taken over the latter.
The past few months have been incredibly busy. In between the ceaseless job hunt, working at cafenation, interning with Proxy Apparel, starting my total website overhaul (stay tuned!!!) and being the SICKEST of my life (by sick, I do not mean "sick swells bra lets go down to the beach and hang ten with our bros super excellent happy time" sick that's familiar in my native land of San Diego, but sick "Oh hey, going to faint once every few days, be unable to exercise and essentially read the LOTR trilogy for a summer" sick), it's been crammed.
Good news: Projects A PLENTY!
Bad news: Confronting the harsh reality that my unrealistic aspirations of becoming a financial and employd rock mere months after graduating college are totally unfeasible.
A few posts ago, I introduced Gavin's dance night love child--GOOD. Good has become GREAT, drawing a eclectic crowd of Allston socialites, alcoholics, fashionistas, cyclists and musicians like zombies to flesh carrion. The turnout has been incredible, and I've been able to try my hand at more party photography, which has proven to be as awesome and ephemeral as I could've hoped, satiating my ADD.
Boston courier Ben getting rowdy.
Guest DJ and Bodega babe Caitlin getting spicy in her FABULOUS leopard onesie.
Fibers artist Hanna dancing about on the model dance floor.
Caitlin was so kind as to take a picture of one of my besties Hanna, myself and good friend Olivia being cutesy.
Well, those are the highlights from last time. I've got some more interesting shots all up on my harddrive that I'll post sometime in the near future for a "best of".
Until then, check out the Model Cafe every other Sunday (this Sunday) and usually the last Thursday of every month for their sister event--BANGERS.
ALSO--GAVIN AND JOE ARE CROSSING OVER THE CHARLES RIVER INTO CAMBRIDGE FOR SUBSTANCE, at Zuzu on Mass Ave. Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the debut evening, so I hope to see you all there!

Proxy Codman Farm Adventure!
August 2010-
Proxy Apparel uses fashion to entice its customers to think sustainably, not only in terms of fashion but their everyday lifestyles. With sustainability in mind, Proxy has joined forces with local farms to create a Fall Fashion Tour circuit, synthesizing the sustainable fashion and foods world into one big awesome awareness fest.
Over the past two months I have had the opportunity to visit the farm twice to learn about sustainable meat production and canoodle with a variety of cute critters.
Entrance to the main farm office/store.
Both the admission fees and store products are honesty policy--there is no fee police stationed at the quaint locally made collection boxes to ensure you have paid the proper amount of money.
In order to increase income, Codman Farms also loans their services (and farm equipment) to local fields and farms to till, cut or mow whatever needs a little maintenance.
Timid farm go-er carefully describes, in great detail, which pig is the momma and which one is the daddy.
Ducks were abounding at the farm the first time I went with the other proxy ladies. If you're in the market for a duck, feel free to stop on by--they give them away!
I even got the opportunity to talk to Codman Farm Director Jen James about sustainable meat:

Proxy Clothing Adventure!
After graduating from college, I began the both blessed and cursed dance that all post college students embark on: the perpetual job application tango.
In between the sudden urge to weep, pounding red bull and conditioning myself to find stress catharsis through running instead of any alcoholic substance I applied, applied again, interviewed, and cover lettered until the sight of a computer made me sick to my stomach.
While I have yet to acquire a full time paying photography gig, I was blessed to stumble upon an awesome opportunity as the visual coordinator for Proxy Apparel, a sustainable clothing company headed by the lovely Heather Jean MacNeil.
Based in Boston, MA, Proxy Apparel promotes sustainable living, from eating to clothing. Proxy currently sells a variety of jewelry and clothing items made by women's collectives in South America.
For more information on Heather and Proxy Apparel, take a gander here!!
I have yet to update the website, but here's a sneak peak into the new Summer/Fall items!

100,000 and four years later....
Summer 2010:
After four years of sitting in a basement, increasing caffeine tolerance and loan collecting I finally finished my Bachelor's degree in Photojournalism and Art History at Boston University. About. Friggin. Time.
Leaving college is both exciting and bittersweet; I have met some incredibly talented people and done a lot of occupational soul searching sans a beach montage, and I thank all the professors, students and faculty for every
For my final two credits, I have been taking a studio lighting class at New England School of Photography in Kenmore Square to become more proficient/learn commercial lighting.
A classmate posing for a portrait. Utilizing a two point system. A little different than the three point system I've been using in TV production.
Choking the rubber chicken.

Rumney Rocks
July 2010:
For the first time in ten years, I went climbing outdoors in the lovely town of Rumney, New Hampshire with Gavin and Adam for some good quality outdoor sport climbing. The two seasoned climbers took to the rocks and took to the walls like fish in water, while they both humored me climbing up some of the easier rocks New Hampshire had to offer. Comedic relief. Both photographically and physically it was an awesome experience, hopefully I'll get the opportunity to try it again.
