Growing up, we cheered for the New York Yankees. Especially when they played the Boston Red Sox. Especially on those game days.

Now, as an adult, I ‘ve had many opportunities to visit the city of my childhood rivals. Those visits have been a mixture of business, college visits with my daughter and plain old passing through on my annual pilgrimage to Portland for Monktoberfest. I’ve even watched a game from behind home plate at Fenway. Don’t tell my dyed-in-pinstripe-blue mother, but it’s a pretty awesome place to watch a baseball game. Through these visits I’ve discovered something. Something painful.

I like Boston.

I ventured back to the city last week to shoot a series of portraits for my friends at the Cloud Foundry Foundation during the opening day of their annual community summit. The foundation governs some of the technology that makes a lot of the things we take for granted work. It’s supported by big names in the tech industry, as well as big names outside of tech.

This is a sample of the roughly 70 images we created that day. In Boston.

I recently had the honor of creating a portrait of my neighbor’s daughter the night before her bat mitzvah. We had a blast shooting. This was my favorite shot of the session.

I set a goal to do more human-centric photography this year. As such, I’m always on the lookout for good folks to collaborate with. If that’s you, give me a shout.

As a photographer, it’s an honor to see my work included in the Gray Lady. As a father, it’s an even bigger honor highlighting the important and, unfortunately necessary work this next generation is forced to take on.

Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of shooting the annual VH1 Save The Music Foundation concert performed by the teachers and students of Central Bucks School District in Pennsylvania. The foundation’s mission is to jump start music programs in elementary and middle schools across the nation. CBSD has been a significant contributor to the VH-1 effort, raising more than $100,000 over the years to give other districts the musical opportunities its students have. This year, all money raised will go to the Orleans Parish School District in New Orleans which has struggled to maintain its music programs after Hurricane Katrina.

As we begin to wind down 2017, I thought it would be a good opportunity to look back on some of my favorite images I captured throughout the year.

It was a year that saw me take on big challenges and explore new photography styles. It was also a year that helped me further define the connection between my career helping companies tell better stories and my passion capturing those stories with my camera. That intersection is something I’ll be focusing on in 2018.

What were my favorite images of 2017? Let’s look.

My town has a vibrant and fun cycling community of which I am a (slow) member. Each year, roughly 100-200 cyclists get together for a leisurely five mile stroll through the neighborhoods to see the holiday decorations. I couldn’t make it this year, but was able to catch Santa and his pedaling reindeer coming through the center of town.

A few months ago, I kicked off a project that had been bouncing around my head for awhile. I called it “This is Our Town.” It’s an ongoing series of portraits focused on the humans that make up my hometown: Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The project is generously supported by my friend, Mike Markowitz, owner of the restaurant where they are displayed.
