I happened upon this scene seconds after the police scanner crackled about a car crash at the intersection of Clarendon and Commonwealth Ave. A Fisher College cop who had just ended his overnight shift assisted one of the victims by jumping into her flipped car and holding her hand. My colleague Laura Crimaldi takes over the story here. A photo gallery can be seen here.
(May 30, 2006-Boston, Mass.) I found this sweet scene in a tree at the State House front door. A mother robin tends to her chicks in a nest .
(April 16, 1996-Boston,Mass) Outside of the Old South Church I snapped photos of Victoria Duffy and Dennis Hopper’s marriage. Dennis died today.
100-year-old retired Navy Lt. John Finn, the oldest Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, died Thursday. Here is my photo of John at the Massachusetts State House on November 11 at a Veteran’s Day ceremony as Grace Washburn, a Patriot Guard Rider from North Reading, gives him a lift. Obit here from the Herald.
(05/28/03-Boston,MA) Emotion is evident in the Bish and Pryor families during a State House ceremony to commemorate Massachusetts Missing Children’s Day, which actually occurred May 25. Here, as a song played at the end of the ceremony, John and Magi Bish, parents of missing teen lifeguard Molly Bish, hug their daughter Heather and her fiance Matthew Guertin. In back row, reaching to support the Bish family, is Andrew Pryor , father of 9-year-old murder victim Sarah Anne Pryor. Missing Children’s Day is actually on May 25 of each year since 1983, when then President Ronald Regan proclaimed May 25 National Missing Children’s Day . The Molly Bish Foundation can be found here.
I was looking back at my photos of Tom Brady over the years and discovered these vastly different looks. Some photos snapped for the Boston Herald.

It really is hard to believe that I snapped this photo seven years ago today. The photograph, shot from Charlestown’s Chelsea Street, really resonated with weather lovers and architecture aficionados alike. The storm was part of a line of heavy thunderstorms moving in from Southern Middlesex County. It seemed to fizzle when it reached me, probably due to the influence of the relatively cold ocean water temperatures. I set up a tripod and positioned myself so that I could get the most flattering angle of the bridge. And then I waited. I always get a bit nervous during these storms as one tends to be a vulnerable target next to a large metal tripod. This photograph made the front of the Boston Herald the next day. Shot with a Canon camera and a 70-200mm F2.8 lens.
Here are my photos of Tom at an ’08 press conference to support Best Buddies which, according to their website, is an organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It was founded in 1989 by Anthony Shriver. This year’s fundraising festivities include the Boston to Hyannis Port Best Buddies Challenge biking event on June 5. To get involved or to donate go here.
