Colleen Sullivan records Memorial Day

Posted on May 28, 2024 | 1 comment

Colleen shared with me last night this photo she orchestrated yesterday of the Medfield Police Department and the Select Board in Baxter Park after the ceremony –

At the time I was both amused and impressed enough to document the photographer at work taking that photo –

Earlier in the week I had witnessed Colleen having to do even more arranging of her subjects to get all the gold star families into the frame for a photo in a tight space with the new plaque at the Legion. Good photos do not just randomly happen, they require a good photographer being in charge.

I saw that Colleen took many photos recording Medfield’s Memorial Day, and once she processes them they will appear here https://patch.com/massachusetts/medfield
