Bluestone Lane Coffee in Hoboken

There seems to be no stopping Bluestone Lane who are constantly opening beautiful coffee shops in great neighborhoods, this time they move to New Jersey where I was able to photograph the impeccably designed new coffee shop.

City Harvest Skip Lunch Fight Hunger

You spend $15 on lunch because you live in New York City. You feed 60 kids with $15 because you’re a New Yorker. And with nearly 420,000 in our city facing hunger, you know you’re going to do something about it.

Portrait of Geoffrey Zakarian for City Harvest

I'm so glad we rescheduled this shoot for after the snow storm that happened a couple of weeks ago. It was still freezing cold but the photos don't show that. Geoffrey Zakarian was super to work with and being able to photograph an Iron Chef and Food Network celebrity is like winning the Super Bowl for me.

Shot with a Canon 5D Mark IV and 24-70mm F2.8 lens. Light is a Profoto B2 with a large profoto deep umbrella.

Food Photography - Romanesco broccoli

How do you walk past this incredible looking vegetable at the supermarket without buying some to bring home, photograph and eat. Romanesco Broccoli is one of the coolest looking plants on the planet. I spent a lot of time as a teenager staring with glazed eyes at fractals.

Food Photography - NYBG Kids Culinary Weekend

It's always a pleasure to work at the New York Botanical Gardens, but especially when I'm asked to cover some of the amazing kids programs that include the edible garden and some great chefs. Check out Two Moms Kitchen for more recipe ideas and make sure you visit Matt Abdoo's new place in the Village, Pig Bleecker and Brooklyn joint Pig Beach.
