A few months ago I did campaign portraits at the NESOP studios for Sonia Chang-Diaz, who is running for State Senate in my district and will decidedly be getting my vote.A week ago her campaign called to ask me if I would do the photography for a mail piece featuring testimonials from various people who will be voting for Sonia, from neighborhoods all over the district. I completed the project Sunday and Monday, and I'm pretty excited about the results. Here we go - get your walkin' shoes on, we're hitting the best of Boston.
(P.S. At the risk of photo-overload, I'm making myself choose only one portrait of each person I shot... but for the others, please (please, please!) see the Flickr album.)
Chinatown...
Beacon Hill...
Roxbury...
Mattapan...
Jamaica Plain...
The South End...
And of course, Ms. Chang-Diaz herself, hard at work in her home.
Had a great time with this project and loved the challenge. I hope there's more great stuff like this on the horizon.
(Just in case ya missed it, here's the rest of 'em.)

Your photos are fantastic! Had so much fun hanging out with you tonight. I'm sure I'll be seeing you.
I've linked to my LiveJournal, which I assure you, is still quite trivial, but... hey, it's my LiveJournal, it can be as trivial as I want!
See you around.

They are really, really great.

Jessie -- great shots as always, especially that first one in Chinatown. (I'm a sucker for special effects.)
One question though: is Sonia taking an AP US History course? Why does her copy of the People's History have so many flags in it? :)
Really good suff, Jess. I love the way you surround your subject with meaningful space and graphic elements. I haven't really learned how to do that yet - I usually just get in people's faces and fill the frame. Gratz on such a cool gig. You're helping me convince myself that photos can help save the world.
