Trout Unlimited Part 1: Scouting and Burgers

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

We hit Oatka Creek for the first time in the early morning hours of April 2.  I was joined by good friends, Dean Milliman and Matt Smythe for a scouting mission of one of Western New York’s most popular trout fisheries, one that is deeply steeped in history and tradition.  The three of us were [...]

Jinelle, Her Saw, and a Good Tree

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

The heady scent of the Balsam Fir pitch on my hands still hangs in the air, and I’m not going to wash it off.  I’m savoring it as long as I can.   Just this morning, “Stage Two” of the new personal project was underway at Stokoe Farms, in Scottsville, NY. I had connected with Jinelle [...]

Morgan and the Marshmallows

Sunday, February 27th, 2011

One of the greatest challenges, for me at least, seems to be carving out time in the schedule to create fresh personal work.  New portfolio images, bodies of work revolving around a specific idea for a self-promo piece, that sort of thing.  I’ve been feeling a little “creatively stagnant” lately, wishing for a good project [...]

Matt Smythe for Blood Knot Magazine

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

As I type this post, I am really hit hard by how very quickly summer has passed.  Somehow, it has escaped me.  These photographs were made in mid-May and early June.  In just three short hours, fall will have officially arrived. My good friend, Matt Smythe had contacted me back in May to talk about [...]

Vegetable Pairings for Menu Magazine

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Back in late April of this year, I was asked to photograph five different vegetable pairings for the Fall 2010 issue of Wegmans Menu Magazine.  The magazine hit store shelves not long ago, and will be available from now until the holiday season. The vegetable serving ideas we illustrated were designed by Wegmans chefs to [...]

Holterholm Farms for Menu Magazine

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

In early August of 2009, I was sent by the Wegmans Advertising Department to Jefferson, Maryland to photograph for a day at Holterholm Farms, a supplier of milk for Organic Valley.  Established in 1889 by the great-great grandfather of Ron Holter, the 207 acre farm has been a producer of organic dairy products since 2005, [...]

North American Whitetail Cover!

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

It was back in early November of 2009 that for me, at least, the groundwork for this project began to form.  It was about that time that my friend, Garret Armstrong, of Elite Archery, shared with me pictures that he had just taken in the field of Chris Kiernan’s 2009 Illinois archery buck.  I’m pretty [...]

Taylor Chace for Boston Globe Magazine

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

As I write this post, Taylor Chace is still in Vancouver, British Columbia.  I would guess that he and his teammates are probably still riding the high of having won Olympic Gold.  To me, that realization is both incredibly wonderful and surreal, and it makes me wish I had been there to see all that [...]

Lauren Tracy for Boston Globe Magazine

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

Every so often, a job will come along that is so very enjoyable, it makes me feel as though I’m getting away with something!  I mean, nobody should get paid to have such a nice time, even if they’re taking their October Sunday afternoon to do the work!  When I got to photograph Lauren Tracy, [...]

Holiday Beverages!

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

In early September, our studio took the call from Wegmans to photograph two drink recipes that were developed to help Menu Magazine readers refresh themselves cheerfully throughout the holiday season!  The images would run in the Menu Magazine Holiday Issue, the article beginning on page 58.  I was to work alongside art director and good [...]
