This past fall, I had the opportunity to meet and photograph Danny Hillis—renowned inventor, engineer, author, and scientist—for the Financial Times. Hillis is cofounder of the Long Now Foundation and the designer of a 10,000-year mechanical clock.
I'm excited to announce our lineup of Baring Scars Project shoot dates for 2026, beginning with our first: Friday, February 20, 2026. The Baring Scars Project is a portrait and storytelling project documenting men living with and beyond cancer. Through intimate portraits and video interviews, the project reveals the visible and invisible scars left behind. Baring Scars is meant to challenge the silence many men carry around illness, vulnerability and survival.
Fishermen—and the working waterfronts they depend on—are a defining part of Maine’s culture and identity. Those tied to the fishing industry work in challenging, ever-changing conditions, both at sea and on shore.
The last thing I wanted was to be seen. Not for something like this, completely out of my control. Many people get cancer—an estimated 2 million in the U.S. alone 2024—but every story is unique. My own cancer came in late 2015.
Stories are everywhere—real, human stories about people fighting to find a home, keep one, live their lives, and take care of their families. I love working with clients who make a real difference.
The artists and craftsmen who call Maine home share a cultural heritage with those who have gone before them. This link to the past is epitomized by Sam Smith, an aptly-named blacksmith who operates several forges across the state as guildmaster of the Maine Blacksmith's Guild.
