This week was Commencement at Harvard and rather than put images up here, I’m linking to the Gazette’s Photo Journal feature.

Haiti for Harvard
I had the great fortune of spending five days in Haiti for Harvard covering folks from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative and Partners in Health. The experience is something beyond words. The devastation is difficult to understand without actually seeing it, and after spending a few days surrounded by it, it remains hard to comprehend. Here...
Italy on two wheels …
I just returned from two weeks in Italy with my wife and daughter and we had an amazing time. Pasta and wine were my constant companions, and we walked for miles and miles as we traversed Rome, Siena and Florence. All around us we were surrounded by people on two wheels. Vespa’s and other scooters...
South African Trout
During this last trip to South Africa I spent a day with a local guide fishing for wild rainbow trout. Tim Rolston of Inkwazi Flyfishing was my guide for the day. I found Tim through the Stream X site, and I’m so glad I did. It’s interesting that the streams outside of Cape Town are...

Penn took advantage of the rain and just about knocked Harvard out of the Ivy League championships. Here are some from the game.
A Day in the Life of Harvard President Drew Faust
So about a week ago I got to spend a day with Harvard President Drew Faust. What a perfect assignment. A full day of all access and the ability to simply remain a fly on the way. Please head on over to the President’s page to check out the results.
Thanks - JI
Second Alarm … of sorts.
I got a few comments on my photos from Friday, Heavy Smoke Showing and a request to put up some more from the fire on Ash Street … appropriate name for the street I guess. Anyway, always willing to do what I can, here are a few more photos. Reality is that I got there...
Heavy Smoke Showing . . .
Sitting in the office today in Harvard Square I heard a bunch of sirens, and out of habit I switched on the scanner that sits mostly unused on my desk. The first thing I heard was actually from the Cambridge Police, dispatching officers for “traffic control” because FD had lines run across the road. Few...
