Former President Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton visit NYBG

I don't normally talk about politics or religion much, it's normally safer to change the topic, but in the past year I've started to speak my mind. When I got the call from the New York Botanical Gardens that I could be photographing a presidential candidate the day after Christmas (Boxing Day) I was both excited and terrified. Thankfully it was the Clintons and they were super charming. Bill came over and shook my hand, I told him it was an honor to meet him, and he exclaimed in his cooler than school, raspy southern drawl "Nice!"

Food Photography - Lemon Bar

One of my favorite baked treats is a Lemon Bar. It always makes it easier to photograph food when you really love the item in the photo. This photo was taken on my dining room table with a bounce card behind the Lemon Bars and a flash bounced off the wall behind. Photograph taken on a Canon 5D Mark IV with a 100mm Macro Lens wide open.
