Pulling everything together

I’m super grateful this Thanksgiving eve (or, I guess, at the time of this writing, technically Thanksgiving day) for every animal, plant, landscape, editor, coworker, friend, loved one and stranger who makes it possible for me to spend my days exploring this life in many different ways but mostly through writing and photographs. And it’s a gift not necessarily because those are more important activities than others but because those are the ways my narrow slice of the world widens like a big, fat, delicious piece of pie. Tonight, I’m savoring it as much as possible.

In that spirit, this is an official “re-launch” of my old website so all my stuff finally lives together in one spot. Here you can find my newspaper stories, my photojournalism portfolio, ongoing projects and blog posts like these. I will also include some of the work from my studies with the Mountainview MFA program, like this essay about the time I raised ducklings in an apartment and it went horribly wrong.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I’ll leave you with an older but favorite story from this time of year: a Mississquoi Abenaki woman once told me about her efforts to preserve indigenous food traditions in New Hampshire.
