Stand With Chuck Turner
Below are a series of photographs I took of Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner over the past 4 years or so. During that time I have both worked with and been inspired by Chuck - in fact he is one of the only politicians I have ever trusted. Chuck has worked tirelessly for social justice, human and civil rights and has been a strong steadfast voice for people his community. Recently he was arrested by the FBI in a dubious set-up operation targeting progressive black political figures in Boston. In an effort to help him clear his name my brother and I have built a website for his supporters at supportchucktuner.com

A Public Fruit Jam
While in Linz at Ars Electronica I met the amazing folks from the Fallen Fruit project based in Los Angeles. Their project at the festival included a “Public Fruit Jam” at which we were all invited to collectively make homemade jam. Exciting that Ars included them this year, especially considering they are anything but electronic. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Austria! Below are images documenting the production of our first delicious apricot-plum-elderberry concoction.
