Last night we had a talk with Tony Decaneas, Decaneas Archive, Revere—about his relationship and stories shared with Ernest Withers. “Pictures Tell the Story” and Tony let us in on some more.

Paula and Frances went to the Chilton Club the other day where Paula made a presentation on how to choose a photograph. Then ate the most delicious custard and admired the flamboyant furniture and lighting throughout the place. Thanks, Nancy McMahon for inviting us!

Thank you, Christopher Churchill, for talking to our PhotoSynthesis group from Winchester High School and Boston Arts Academy.
