  • In and Around Dartmouth: Featured Member Exhibit at ViewPoint Gallery
    March 15, 2025
    My wife Martha worked in Dartmouth for several years, and sometimes I would accompany her and spend some time walking around this laid-back, homespun city. These photos (that span 2012-2022) are not meant to represent Dartmouth as a whole, rather little moments that caught my eye. […]
