I was the pool photographer today at the arraignment of Kimani Washington, who was held on a high bail in connection with cocaine trafficking and firearms charges that could connect him further to the Mattapan quadruple murders. My photos were distributed to all who wanted them, as part of the pool agreement for cameras in the courtroom. Boston Herald reporter Laura Crimaldi wrote the story here.

The family of Levaughn Washum-Garrison, led by his mother Patricia Wasum-Bennett (with sunglasses) is seen at the arraignment of Kimani Washington in Dorchester Court Wednesday morning. Washington was in court in connection with the quadruple homicide in Mattapan late last month.

September 21, 2009, a day that most surely will be etched in my mind forever. I arrived at Marshfield Airport at 6am and waited and hoped, on a tip, that Gisele would be flying a helicopter with flight instructor Stuart Matsumoto.  All of a sudden, there she was and away she went. Gisele and Stuart stayed up for almost 2 hours before gliding the craft to a perfect landing.  Afterwards, enroute back to Boston, I got another tip that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were jogging around the Charles River. After a few minutes I spotted them. Tom was very nice saying to me, after I identified myself as a Boston Herald photographer, that he enjoyed Boston very much, “a great city.”

On This Date in My Photo History: Sept. 18, 1998 & 2003

(09/18/1998-Boston,MA) On the same day that the Judiciary Committee voted to release President William Clinton’s grand jury testimony in the Monica Lewisky scandal, the president arrives at Logan Airport for a fundraiser . Here, he shakes the hand of a son of a secret service agent on the tarmac at Logan. Both photographed while on assignment with the Boston Herald.

AND, BELOW… (09/18/03-Westport,MA) Hurricane Isabel stirs up the surf  at Horseneck Beach as a trusting soul looks on. The storm’s eye moved inland today at the North Carolina coast throwing heavy surf hundreds of mile north.

Photos of Tense East Boston Standoff.

A man wanted on several warrants, holding a shard of glass and a shovel, threatened to jump off  a third floor fire escape and held police at bay for nearly 6 hours. The dramatic sceme played out on East Eagle Street in East Boston yesterday. For the majority of this incident I stayed inside my car with a very large 800mm lens, not wanting him to see me and possibly further complicating the situation or worse. Here is the Herald story by Edward Mason and below are my photos.
