Welcome to the life and times of Sooz where I've been documenting my work and life adventures since 2002. Work = Sooz Media, my consulting business for web marketing, website project management, event planning and event photography. Life = shooting concert videos + photography, cooking for friends at The Granitorium, and scheming with my favorite Boston bands.
