New Work: The Boat House
In the world of corporate photography, the summer is always the slowest time of the year. In my experience Memorial Day sparks the time of the year when companies face the challenge of dealing with vacations. I think that in a lot of cases, one or more decision makers for any given project are out [...]

Making Pasta
I love the taste of home made pasta. Like home made bread, it is hard to go back to the store bought kind once you’re used to making it at home. While home made pasta can be enjoyable, intense and delicious, making it can sometimes inspire madness (like a Fellini film). This short series of [...]

When the fall hits, the farmers market stalls get emptier and the foods that are available lend themselves to warm comfort foods rather than the cool, refreshing vegetables of the summer.

Despite the sub-zero wind chill we watched the giant TV screens in Times Square as Barak Obama recited the oath of office for the presidency of the United States.
