“When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.” -A July 2002 column for Catholic Online, in which Rick Santorum explains why some Catholic priests molest children.

Here’s a press photo I took of my old friend and Activist Powerhouse, Mason Dunn; speaking at the Boston City Hall Pride Flag raising to kick off Pride Week in Boston. I believe this was the year we got Trans Public Accommodations passed. I was essentially proud as both a photographer and activist to have gotten this photo of Mason giving a passionate speech, with Governor Baker, who signed the law with a little fanfare as possible, in the background!
(Still and all, thanks Gov. Baker! You might not have been excited to sign the law, but you did it! Which is a damn sight better than the horrible anti-trans laws some other governors are actively trying to pass. I’ll take quiet allyship over vocal hostility any day!)

Guys I went whale watching for the first time and it was amazing! We saw a group of 5 humpback whales 2 calves and 3 adults. I got some pretty decent shots and seeing them in their natural habitat was wonderful.
