Beyond Boston Chic

I’ve know Ishkhan since freshman year in high school!  I reached my full height now by the age of 13 and remember thinking at that time that all the boys were sooo much shorter than me.  By junior year, Ish had waaay surpassed me in height.

We were always cool in high school, but it’s such a wonderful surprise that we have become friends years after. I’ve been taking a few pictures of him over the years.  I recently asked him some questions to share with you. For you Somerville heads, all pictures were taken in your city!!
