Not long after I checked out 596 Acres, I followed Andrew Coté, master beekeeper, around for about 36 hours. Edible Manhattan ran the photos alongside an excerpt from Robin Shulman’s new book, Eat the City. It’s a really good read, so pick up your copy while they’re still around the greenmarkets, and I would definitely recommend the book for any foodies who haven’t already checked it out.
I am used to having only a few minutes with my subjects, especially when shooting in NYC – so I was elated that I got to shadow Andrew for such an extended period of time. I emerged with a couple of bee stings (hey, par for the course), 5 rolls of film, and a whole new perspective on what one person is capable of. When you see Andrew in the Union Square Greenmarket, give him a shout out! There’s a lot of hard work, long hours, and passion behind those little jars of honey.
A few extra shots you won’t see in the magazine:
It’s been awhile, as usual, but guess what? I have a really great excuse this time, I was off for the month of July on my first real, lengthy vacation, and I got married! I’ll make a post on all of that amazingness soon enough, but first I wanted to share a few projects I finished up with Edible Brooklyn and Edible Manhattan which have just been published.
In April, Edible Brooklyn called me up to cover a story on 596 Acres, an ambitious urban gardening project headed by Paula Segal. Read the story here to learn more, and here are a few of my favorite shots from one of the most successful lots Feedback Farms:
At long last! The cookbook I shot with Adam Roberts (aka The Amateur Gourmet) has an official release date of September 10, 2012.
In case I wasn’t in touch with you during this time (and chances are I wasn’t, because I was either shooting, editing, eating, or rarely, sleeping), we ran all over the U.S. cooking with chefs ranging from home chefs/food experts like Samin Nosrat and Asha Gomez (who now has her own restaurant) to culinary stars like Alice Waters and Lidia Bastianich. It was exhilarating, exhausting, and delicious – and after all that work, it’s thrilling that now the book is in its final stages of production! The book contains 150 recipes that Adam has worked to make feasible for any home chef, and tons of color photographs. I shouldn’t forget to mention that the book also features still-life photographs of 50 of the recipes by the amazing Johnny Miller. A huge honor to be in the same book.
For more information and the story behind the cookbook, visit Adam’s book page, and here’s a little promo video featuring some snippets of video I grabbed during Adam’s lessons with the chefs – edited together by Isaac Ravishankara, who makes incredible music videos.
