Boston Farm Photography: All At Once
As part of the Boston Homegrown book project, I traveled around Massachusetts (and even Rhode Island) photographing farmers at work. I toured the farms, met the animals, and narrowly escaped death due to clumsiness every time (although I do have a nice scar from falling into barbed wire). You may remember me admitting my fears…

Stick a fork in me; I’m done!This is a photo from my last Boston Homegrown session, with Meritage at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Pretty amazing, right?

When I met Kim Marden, he was wearing a Dave Mason concert t-shirt and I knew we would get along! He runs Captain Marden’s Seafoods. I got to visit their wholesale facility where they prepare all the fresh fish before they get sent to the different restaurants. They also have a restaurant & shop in…

One of these days I will have to sit down with a glass of wine and chronicle my transformation from macaroni lover to foodie (although when asked by Jamie Bissonnette of Coppa what one food I would take to a desert island, I still said macaroni). I can tell you that it started with the…
