I had such a fun time shooting this story that I was commissioned for by New Haven Magazine. The high school football game was between the Madison Hand Tigers and the Chesire Rams, who were defeated 14-13. Thousands of spectators came out for the big rival game. This selection of images are not traditional sports photography; the focus is not of the happenings on the field, but rather what surrounds it.

health care portraits receive honorable mention in the 2010 international photography awards
This project, started in late 2009, focuses on the ongoing health-care crisis in America, specifically the impact on patients and caretakers. The subjects of my photographs are unemployed and uninsured, caregivers under financial stress, small business owners who cannot afford insurance coverage and people with pre-existing conditions who are denied health-care coverage for their chronic illnesses. This project confronts the issues that face our legislature by drawing attention to the people who are affected most by the ongoing health-care situation in this country.
Since working on this project, President Obama signed legislation on March 23, 2010, to overhaul the nation's health care system and guarantee access to medical insurance for tens of millions of Americans. Under this legislation most Americans will be required to have health insurance coverage; it would add 16 million people to the medicaid rolls; and would subsidize private coverage for low- and middle-income people. It will also regulate private insurers more closely, banning practices such as denial of care for pre-existing conditions. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office this law will cost the government about $938 billion over 10 years, but also estimated that it will reduce the federal deficit by $138 billion over a decade.

grace in the 2010 international photography awards
I had the honor of being selected for second place in the People: Family Pro category in the International Photography Awards for my work Grace, a document of my families struggle in coping with my aunt's chronic illness, Alzheimer's disease.
Pleasure Beach/Long Beach West
Christine Murphy, cottage #17
This is a project I am currently working on that is about the transition of a once-thriving beach-front community and amusement park in Stratford and Bridgeport, CT, in it's current state of ruins, and the transition it will make in the coming year after the Stewart B McKinney Wildlife Preserve developes the land. These photographs will be accompanied by video interviews of people that once occupied the cottages.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with an amazing group of children at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, CT, through the non profit organization, Flashes of Hope. This organization, started by Paul Newman, works with children with life threatening illnesses, to see themselves in a positive light through photography, as well as raise money for pediatric cancer research. If you would like to make a donation, they can be made here: http://www.flashesofhope.org/donate
I have never met a more positive, fun loving group of kids before. I will cherish the memory of working with each and every one of them.
