I’m thrilled to write that after five long years in Sweden, I’ve returned to the place I call home. Now based in Boston – a city of art and culture – everything feels deliciously new. There are bright opportunities, new friends and new points of view, but there is also the benefit of looking at and building upon the tapestry of past experiences.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to have worked as a regular features and editorial contributor for several US and European publications. Much of my work in the US focused on art, design, and culture and I endeavor to once again provide these services along with photography for my clients.
In Sweden, my work took a decided turn toward news writing and current events and those areas provide me with the experience to write about our present state of national madness and also how to best care for ourselves, and others, during such madness.

We begin to get the sense that, despite our best intentions, these lists don’t benefit us in any way except to remind us of how much we have to do and mostly how much we haven’t done.
Several years ago I wrote a post which suggested replacing the To-Do list with something that I considered a better idea – a Done list. That post received quite a nice reception so I thought I’d share the idea here again but with some refinements.

I am feeling absolutely non-inspired today. Yup, it happens. Every artist, writer, designer and creative person at some point has days (hopefully not too many) of complete and utter dysfunction. Perhaps, in my case, it is because today is Monday and after a weekend of activity, I need the day to regroup. I scan my apartment and see that there are a hundred pounds of laundry needing care, plants that are screaming for my attention, and I have a ToDo list which is making me anxious. I’m wanting to read too many books, share too many thoughts, and achieve too many things. It’s hard to sit and write when such distractions loom huge.
