I had the great experience of shooting Patricia Walden for Yoga Journal’s October 2009 feature on yoga masters of 58 and older who age gracefully. Most people are shocked when I say the woman in this photo is 62 and to meet Patricia in person is just as stunning. Even better is to read that she says her poses are even better- more integrated – on her 40th and 50th birthday than they were on her 20th and 30th. I also took some portraits of her in her shady garden. I’m going to be posting an entire project on yoga on my portfolio in the next few weeks so stay tuned.

Here are two tears I shot from stories all about all about restaurants and chefs. For these two stories I shot every step from the field to the kitchen to the table and even the tv studio test kitchen. The first shoot is from the August 02 cover shoot of Chris Kimball for the Boston Globe Magazine. Chris Kimball is extremely successful but somewhat mysterious creator of America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Illustrated publishing empire, a tv show and series of cookbooks. His publications are thriving because they survive on subscriptions from loyal readers rather than advertising. I can’t tell you how many emails I received after the shoot asking if I could divulge the location of Kimball’s fabled farm in Southwestern Vermont. However, much to these avid fans’ disappointment I actually did the shoot at the TV studio surrounded by prep cooks and banks of video lights rather than at his secret New England retreat.

The other two spreads are from the Globe Magazine’s recent food issue which featured farm to table restaurants. The assignment literally had me chasing a piece of spinach from farm to table.  Read the whole article here: http://boston.com/bostonglobe/magazine/articles/2009/06/28/the_new_breed_of_boston_restaurant_has_nothing_to_do_with_status_and_everything_to_do_with_whats_growing_in_our_backyard/
