Spare Food Co at The Parlor

The guys at Spare Food were kind enough to ask me to document their lunch at The Parlor. It was Chef Adam that recommended this incredible Westcheser Pizza joint back when I used to work with Stone Barns.

If you want to try some Spare Food Tonic, give these flavors a try at Decicco or Fresh Direct - Lemon & Ginger. Cucumber & Lime. Blueberry & Ginger. Peach & Turmeric.

Paulie Gee of Paulie Gee's Pizza

Some friends of mine started working at a Pizzeria in Brooklyn that happens to be ranked best Pizza in New York City according to a Zagat readers poll. Paulie Gee was impressed with my photo of Jason, and was happy to spend some time with me for a few portraits, and then fed me some of his incredible pie. I was surprised to find out that he was and SVA alum and knew quite a bit about photography. There's something about making these Pizza house portraits Black and White that makes sense to me. (It was just about the darkest room I've ever shot in. Everything is either shot at F1.4 on my Leica M240 or 8000 ISO on my Canon 1DX)
