Work from my series, Notes from the edge of nowhere, is included in the new book, Seeing in Sixes.
Published by Lenswork, Seeing in Sixes is a juried selection of 50 six-image series of photographs.
Lenswork writes:
…I see these small projects as a visual cousin to the haiku or six-word story — a compact expression of a single nature, possibly a story, definitely a theme, held together stylistically, and making a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Tight, distilled to the essentials, impactful, deeper than what is possible with a single image.
In 2016, editors Brooks Jensen and Maureen Gallagher decided to create a vehicle for presentation of six-image projects, and published the juried book Seeing in Sixes. They published a second volume in 2017.
The upcoming book - to ship in late September, 2018 - is the third annual volume in the series. If the first two volumes are any indication, it promises to be a beautifully printed selection of diverse and fascinating contemporary photographs.
My photograph, “Before you knew where to look,” is featured on Elin Spring’s review of the Somerville Toy Camera Festival at What Will You Remember? (It’s on the Festival home page, too! and in this review from WBUR).

My series, Where you are, is currently featured on the Inside the Outside website.
