Tonight I got the fmaily in front of the camera for the We Are Medway Project. 0086 Barbie, 0087 Anna and 0088 Danny, For the most part, all lifelong residents of the town, not counting a very brief stint in North Bellingham. It is interesting to talk about what this town means to them, some very different things, especially for the kids, they are 4th generation here. I have my theories on how Medway will play in their futures. Will it be where they are, or where they are from? No matter what, I think it is safe to say, it will be a part of who they are. As for Barbie and I, well out fate is sealed, we are Medway.

Catch up on the project here: We Are Medway

Erin and Taylor got married today, and I got to be part of it. When Erin and Taylor came to my studio a couple of months ago to talk about their wedding, they told me “we all love photos, and we will have fun, so will you.” It was such a vast understatement. There was not one person there who did not want to have a photo taken, fun is ALL they had and so did I. I have done my share of weddings, the weather is a huge part of the day, so today’s weather caused some concern. It poured, we had to adjust the first look, the formals, we made it work, then 10 minutes before the couple had to make the call on inside or outside for the ceremony, the sky turned blue, the sun came out, and we headed outside. A beautiful 20-minute ceremony later… the clouds came back and went back to work. But they got their outside ceremony, and it was perfect and just what we needed. the rain held off long enough for a quick round grip ride on the ski lift. Thank you Erin and Taylor for trusting me with your day, may every day forward be as fun.

To the best roommates out there… I will not admit how much time I just spent looking to see if they have last names. It turns out they do not. Their address is 123 Sesame St. They live in a basement apartment since I was a kid I pictured it being on the top floor. Just past Gordan’s place, in the back above the play area, across from Hooper’s store. My life is a lie. I need time to deal with this new knowledge.

I photographed Soul Asylum at Pinz in Kingston, MA tonight. Just a great show, by one of my favorite alt rock bands. They sounded superb. Pinz just keeps bringing in these bands you have to see, perfect place for an up-close and personal show – and I am not just saying that because my photos are all over there website. Check them out.

A quick shot after a daring outside Senior Photo session. Even as the sun set, there was no relief.

I went to Cambridge this afternoon to assist another wedding photographer. It was a change of pace, carry some bags, set up some lights, watch a master at work. I had some down time so in between the rain and the setups I had a few minutes and my Lensbaby, the only lens I brought since I was not a shooter and I got this. Some heavy cloud action over the city, followed by some rain moments later.

August 10, 2018 by timricephoto Leave a Comment

When I started my We Are Medway project last month I mentioned a book by Francis Donovan, called The New Grant: A History of Medway. Today, an old friend visiting home for a few days stopped by the studio. He had found a 1982, second printing copy of The New Grant, the very edition I used to read at school and passed it off to me. I will add it to my Medway Book collection. I have some Bicentennial papers, an Epitaph book, a pamphlet of sorts on Medway published by Edison Electric. My goal for the project was to maybe have a book of the photos next to Donovan’s book, with one in my possession I guess that will be even easier. Thank you Doug (and his Mom) for sharing this with me.

August 9, 2018 by timricephoto Leave a Comment

A few weeks back one of my We Are Medway participants, Liam McDermott, suggested we take a photo of the admins of The Friends of Medway Facebook page for the project. Friends of Medway is one of those town Facebook pages, ‘lost dog, need a recommendation, have you seen what happened to, when is the road going to be finished’ type of pages. Like a modern day local water cooler with over 10K people hanging around it. Like it or not, these places are part of our fabric now, and since We Are Medway is just a history project waiting to get old, I think it made perfect sense to represent it somehow. And as I have had business owners in the studio, I believe the creator of Friends of Medway should be the one to represent it, Andrea Bosworth. Sadly and tragically, Andrea was taken last year far too early. I was approached last week by the Admins of her page saying they would be happy to be included in the project, as long as we could tie it to Andrea. I could not have agreed more. Tonight four out of the five admins joined me at the studio, and here we have entry #0077 Friends of Medway into the We Are Medway Project.

#0077 Friends of Medway

Date: August 9, 2018, Medway Resident, Andrea Bosworth passed away in 2017 at 38 as the result of a tragic accident. Andrea was a mother of three, a teacher at Nipmuc Regional High School, a triathlete, and creator of the Facebook page Friends of Medway. Friends of Medway has grown from being a little corner of the internet for Andrea and her friends to (as the description states) “A place for residents or friends of Medway, MA to connect, share experiences, make recommendations, ask questions, etc. It’s a place where together we can help make our town and our community stronger.” I would challenge it is much, much more. Love it or not, it is part of the fabric that makes up the town, and part of Andrea’s legacy. Since her passing, the reigns of the page have been handed off to some of her relatives and close friends, who watch over the page and honor her wishes: “I want to keep it a friendly place.” Some of those hands are in this photo, holding her up for this picture. Courtney Weed, Stephanie Prentice, Rich Eustis, Michael Callahan, not pictured Meghan Taylor.

Tonight was Toy Story in the park, sponsored by Tim Rice Photo. I set up and photographed toys for the kids before the movie. So many cool toys, my favorite was the Boglin, my brohter and I had these, they were gross then and I can say age does not help them… it was awesome. Thanks to everyone who came by.
