Golden Lion Photography
Hi there, I’m Gabriel Rizzo, a published portrait, dance, and live event photographer in Boston, MA.
I shoot mostly on-location, both indoor and outdoor, however, I also own a portable Linco, Inc Photo Studio Softbox Light Kit for studio quality sessions with a backdrop.
With a BSA in Film studies from Emerson College and having taken photography courses during the ‘dark room/film developing’ era, I’ve always loved the art of visual storytelling through the transcendence of our human element.
One hour on-location Portrait Session for $150 through December!

honeyjones gallery
Beginning Thanksgiving weekend and continuing through most of December, honeyjones is offering for sale to the public a private collection of vintage ceramics designed by pioneer Hungarian ceramicist Eva Zeisel. Eva's career as an artist and designer spanned more than eighty years. Her life story is fascinating and her designs are iconic and internationally relevant.
Along with the historically significant gathering of ceramics, images and text, the artwork of regarded modern expressionist artist Barbara Trachtenberg will also be featured.
Full dinner and brunch service sets as well as individual vessels and smaller sets such as sugar and creamers and salt and pepper shakers will be on display and available. Vibrant mixed media works on canvas by Ms. Trachtenberg will also be available for purchase.
The ceramics as well as the artworks will make lovely, warm and meaningful gifts for family and for the home.
This showing in its message is intended to embrace themes of family history and the transcendent power of beauty and peaceful intent, especially amidst crises.
honeyjones is not a dining business, but the ceramics are especially appealing to foodies, lovers of home design and family rituals. The experience of visiting the gallery is intended to be a meaningful and inspiring one.
