‘Tis the season! For what, I don’t know, but that’s what everyone is saying. In this country it seems like it’s the season of excess. Even in this recession, people are out of control with buying inane stuff. I’m all about getting and giving useful, particularly perishable, gifts. This year I made organic Maine blueberry [...]

Okay, so it’s been a while. Sorry. The past couple of months have been a jumble of personal and work trips, and they aren’t over yet. Here are a few of the pictorial highlights.
LATE AUGUST: We visited my sister in Connecticut, where there were wildflowers, fog….
a bathtub in the woods…
farm-fresh fingerlings and a delectable stew…
LATE [...]

The national food media has been giving little Portland, ME, a lot of attention lately, and for good reason! First, Bon Appetit’s October issue named Portland this year’s “Foodiest Small Town in America.” And yesterday, the New York Times ran a long, photo-laden piece starting on the front page of the Dining & Wine section [...]
More Pretty Food
Posted in food on September 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Even in this year of torrents, blight, pests and pestilence, the farmers’ markets are currently replete with late summer and early fall delectables. I think I saw husk cherries for the first time last year at the Thirty Acre Farm stand. This year others have them as well.
Randomly, we discovered one husk cherry plant growing [...]
A Smattering of Summer Shots
Posted in food, landscape on August 25, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I’ll write soon about some fun recent work I’ve done, but for now thought I’d distract you with some of my favorite personal shots taken during this crazy summer that has been both maddeningly wet and stiflingly hot at times. Still, we managed to get out and enjoy the outdoors and our vegetables did grow, [...]
Radicchio Revelation
Posted in food, tagged food photography, food styling, treviso radicchio on August 4, 2009 | 2 Comments »
These breathtakingly beautiful treviso radicchio were on offer from Fishbowl Farm at the Portland Farmers’ Market last week. As gorgeous as they were, I was having a hard time getting an image I loved of them. I had two perfect cabernet-colored heads lined with sensational lime green veins and yet I just couldn’t quite get [...]
Garden Variety

Well, hello there. Yes, I am having a good summer, thank you, now that the monsoons have FINALLY stopped! The garden is very appreciative of the sun as well, as you can see from this photo of last night’s sugar snap pea harvest. On a whim, I decided to shoot them on our front steps. [...]

Be sure to check out the July/August issue of Port City Life (soon to be Maine magazine). Inside is a supplement called Maine Eats. I photographed several food-related venues for this issue including the amazing restaurant Fuel in Lewiston (a photo of which adorns the cover at left), the splendid bistro anneke jans in Kittery, [...]
Trendiness

I know in my last post I said I’d write next about food photo tips mentioned during the conference I recently attended, but I decided first to talk about trends, which is somewhat more fun and interesting. First I have a question though. Once a trend is identified does that mean it starts to no [...]

I’m sorry to just have a photo of the Boston skyline to share with you (the view from my sweet suite at a Boston University dorm) after having recently returned from the International Food Styling and Photography Conference, but no doubt I will have numerous food photos of my own (other people’s are below) to [...]
