Eine kleine Nacht Musik

J.J. Long paints landscapes and figures by day and by night, he "screams like Satan" in the death-metal band Hell Within. I ran down the hall in a break between shoots this weekend and got him to come into the studio. He was amenable to putting on one of the masks that Rebekah Wetmore has created.

Oops Lake

I'm not supposed to be able to get such a good reflection... because there's not usually a lake there.


This is the field down the street in Lowell, corner of Baldwin and Middlesex. The playground right next to it was packed today - a beautiful day after a nasty night. There are a number of neighbors with high water in the basement. I got interviewed by a guy named Travis from the Boston Globe. Maybe I'll be in the paper tomorrow.

Cutie blue-eyes

Theresa and her family came to the studio for a First Saturday shoot. Daughter S. is 7 months old, and is just so awake and aware. Here are some of the photos they chose.

Dinosaur persona

Oh yes. You too can be photographed in your dinosaur persona. There is no judgment. Only acceptance.

Come up to Lowell for a free Painless Portrait. Wear your soul on your sleeve. I'll take a picture.

Love,
Meghan

WGBH Billboard

Two of my photos will be displayed on the massive WGBH billboard, lit up in LED splendor over the Mass Pike in Boston. I feel like I won a Grammy or something!

Here are the photos, so you can wave at them if you happen to drive by on Tuesday, February 23, 2010.

The photos are from the Merrimack Repertory Theatre's production of "Black Pearl Sings." The actors are Cherene Snow and Valerie Leonard, the play was directed by Benny Sato Ambush, and written by Frank Higgins.

A year and a red rocking chair

It's coming up on my birfday, and I usually get around to thinking about the past year. It's convenient to have a birthday in January, when I'm already exercising my brain.
But sometimes it's even easier to think about someone else's year, especially when that someone is your own kid.
Kids' lives move faster. My kid's nearly 3 feet tall now and transitioning to a big boy bed. Last year he wasn't standing on his own yet.
That didn't stop me from bringing him into the studio for some photos. Brian came with me to help with the baby-wrangling.

So here's a treat from last January.


It's true. The shoot did end in tears. But I got to take a picture of my big guy comforting my little guy. Life is good. And blog entries about one's offspring are sometimes gooey. :P

Wild rumpus

Okay, it's been a little while since I posted any photos of my kid. Here are some from yesterday.

Hooray for more daylight! The winter sun is coming in differently through the windows since the solstice last month. I've been kind of chasing it around the house. Add to that the need to chase this kid around, and we've got the makings of a wild rumpus!


That hair. Oh, that hair! As momma, I know it needs a trim. As photog, I rejoice in its waviness.

Fabuloso at MRT

Merrimack Rep has a new play - Fabuloso by John Kolvenbach. Kyle Fabel directs, and Rebecca Harris, Amy Kim Waschke, Ed Jewett, and Jeremiah Wiggins play the parts. It was pretty zany, and I had a good time moving around to take the shots.

Here are the pix the theater chose for PR. I particularly like the first one, with Ed Jewett's arms flowing up out of the frame and the big, big belly helping push that "I'm crazy" vibe.
