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.

The best part was the roasted oyster...

A photo walk through the Minuteman National Park in Lincoln

When a friend with a car says he wants to take photos at a location you can’t generally get to — you know it’s going to be an awesome day. As a result of my friend Mike visiting from New Jersey, I finally made it out to Minuteman National Park...

Photo: attack of the lemon verbena

[tweetmeme]The lemon verbena I’m growing in the herb garden on the porch isn’t actually as tall as the house next door like this photo may suggest; but it is growing rapidly. It might be time to make some sorbet! See more of my plant and flower photos at Sooz Photography.

Photo of green curry with tofu at Ronnarong

For years I didn’t think I liked Thai food — it generally underwhelmed me and I never sought it out. But then there’s Ronnarong in Somerville’s Union Square — an explosion of tasty awesomeness. I went there for the first time when I moved to Union Square last Fall. Now that I’m vegan, it’s especially...

Upcoming event for Somerville bloggers hosted by The OneVille Project

I’m helping The OneVille Project host an event for Somerville bloggers that will bring together Somerville area online media makers for a discussion about how to better connect all of Somerville with news and information that parents and kids need. For example, there are a lot of summer programs available for kids but not all...

Photos: 4th of July in Boston 2010

Here are some photos I took on July 4th in Boston. For the fireworks, a group of friends were on a roof deck in the South End. There was a big building blocking most of our view, but I managed to snap a few photos of the Boston fireworks display. To see all the photos,...

Tasty treats from 37 Signals and Basecamp

Today on my way out the door, I noticed I had a package from Zingerman’s waiting for me. Curious! I opened it up to find that 37 Signals sent me a package thanking me for being a Basecamp customer for many years. I’m vegan (almost three months!) so I can’t eat most of the treats...
