His current focus is on social documentary photographic projects that show the positive aspects of the human condition while helping others tell their stories through words and pictures. Born in 1966 in the former mill city of Lowell, Massachusetts (USA) and now a resident of Arlington, Massachusetts, Paul�s love of photography began when he received his first camera (a Kodak Instamatic) when he was eight years old to document his family and himself. Today, Paul uses his camera to explore his emotions, thoughts, and ideas that reflect his relationship to his family, his community, and the larger society.
