Watch the video of Carol Garfield reporting from Dane Street.

Pictures too....

I met up with bodybuilder John McClay and shot some video while he worked out at Gold's Gym in Braintree. John will be competing in the USA National Wheelchair Bodybuilding Championship this weekend.

I recently wrote about Fernald, a mental institution in Waltham, Mass.
The articles were published this week....

I also made a mini-documentary about the place. I shot and edited video footage, scanned in some old photos of the institution, and used a MindFIELD song for the soundtrack. You can view it on my video blog: http://dotrat.blogspot.com/
