Codman Square Health Center

I recently did some work for Codman SquareHealth Center,Dorchester, Ma.  A series of portraits on the streets of Dorchester for their new X Clinic.  Next time you are on the Red Line look out for this:

Playball.....Softball

These girls mean business, but I bet they don't know the origin of the game.

Softball dates back to Thanksgiving Day 1887.  Fans at the Chicago, Illinois Farragut Boat club were waiting to hear who won the outcome of the Harvard vs Yale football game.  Yale was announced as the winner and a Yale alumni then threw a balled up boxing glove to a Harvard alum.  The Harvard alum then hit the balled up glove with a  broom handle.  A reporter for the Chicago Board of Trade  yelled, "play ball," and the football fans continued to use the boxing glove and stick.

Going Back to Haiti

I will be on my way back to Haiti with the Rasin Foundation.  My last visit I went to various schools and took portraits of the students.  Needless to say, the schools were quite different from what we have here in the United States. A few snaps from the schools, view more on my website,www.cleggphoto.com.

Highschool age students in class.

 This was in the principal's office

 A classroom located outside beside a church.  Classrooms were separated by free standing chalkboards.

This guy was all smiles.

Maine Identity; Downeast

A little bit about my Downeast portrait series on my website.

Downeast Harborside:  A series in progress of portraits of the working Harbor of Corea, Maine.

The iconic Maine Harbor is changing.  Fishermen can no longer afford to live on the Harbor. At one time the lobster fishermen walked out their doors with the harbor in their backyard, allowing them to work on gear and their boats with ease.  More and more the families that have worked out of the harbor for generations are not able to afford the property on the harbor as the old generation passes and their properties are sold to people from out of state.  The new generation faces more regulations, higher cost of living issues and in the last few years a plunge in market prices for their catch as well as a changing landscape of people from “away”

finally have made time to editing files

Taking the photos is the easy part. I recently edited this photo, I took it last summer. 

Revisiting Winter

I decided I would participate in BLINK – Photo Exhibit, Sale, Party & Benefit, sponsored by Digital Silver Imaging.  I needed to pick out one image that someone might want to buy to put on their wall.  I decided to pick this one I took one winter while visiting family in Canada.  

Waiting for summer

Looking through some photos from last summer.  Waiting for warm weather and sunshine.
