Elm Park – Emily Neale
Quinsigamond Lake State Park – Arielle Payes and Bianca Robles
Thanks again to guest choreographer, Sarah-Katarina Jerome, and Arielle and Bianca’s willingness to brave a sunrise shoot.
University Park – Becca Leach
Also known as Crystal Park, across Main Street from Clark University.
Holmes Field – Kelsey Grills and Sarah-Katarina Jerome
Large fields, a basketball court, several playground areas, and, until recently, a swimming pool. I wish I knew what the plan is for the mosaic, but hopefully it will be preserved somewhere since it is the only remaining wall of the changing room.
Thanks to Kelsey Grills and Sarah-Katarina Jerome (also our guest choreographer) for their skills at Holmes Field.
Shore Park – Kristina Wright
Alarm clock at 4:45am, but so worth it.
Hadwen Arboretum – Jamie, Kirsta, and Lisa
We were running dreadfully short on time when we arrived at our last destination, the Hadwen Arboretum. I had staked out the location with my daughter the day before, and we found this beautiful patch of vibrant ground cover under a flowering tree, which reminded both of us of the scene in The Fellowship of the Ring right before Frodo meets Gandalf. This made me want to push these photos just a little bit to the edge of reality. Unfortunately, I arrived with the dancers about an hour later than the day before, and the sun was no longer in the best position to highlight the tree. I wanted each dancer to have some variation in the way the scene was lit, so I moved and adjusted the fill light between each dancer. Again, special thanks to Sarah-Katarina Jerome as guest choreographer and the dancers from the Boston Community Dance Project, Jamie Lovell (photos 3 and 4), Kirsta Paul (photos 5 and 6), and Lisa Charest (photos 1 and 2).
Coes Knife – Jamie, Kirsta, and Lisa
Once again, special thanks to our guest choreographer, Sarah-Katarina Jerome, directing three dancers from the Boston Community Dance Project, Jamie Lovell (photos 2 and 5), Kirsta Paul (photos 3 and 6), and Lisa Charest (photos 1 and 4), at three different parks. This is the second of the series, on the footbridge connecting the site of the demolished Coes Knife Factory with Columbus Park. Though there’s nothing much to see besides an empty lot at the moment, have a look at the master plan for Coes Pond restoration.
Coes Pond Beach – Jamie, Kirsta, and Lisa
Special thanks to our guest choreographer, Sarah-Katarina Jerome, directing three dancers from the Boston Community Dance Project, Jamie Lovell (in blue), Kirsta Paul (in grey and sea foam), and Lisa Charest (in red), at three different parks. The first of the series is at Coes Pond Beach.
Lotsa Parks – Kevin McRell
A fun April Fools Day with my good friend and good sport, Kevin.
And of course, a behind the scenes look:
