Sunday Supper 2011 @ Chelsea Market

Here's a montage of photos from the sold out 3rd annual Sunday Supper - an enormous, family-style dinner in the 400 foot concourse of Chelsea Market. 250 guests were seated at three long tables, and were served by some of our country's finest chefs, including Bill Telepan, Mary Cleaver, Jacques Torres, Masaharu Morimoto, and Sarabeth Levine, among many others.

Published: Edible Brooklyn, "The Good Meat Issue"

I'm thrilled to have been a part of Edible Brooklyn's "Good Meat Issue", as it allowed me to work with businesses and chefs that I already support and admire. There's nothing better than stepping into the kitchens of some of your favorite restaurants to see who's preparing your meal and how much love goes into it.

The first article, by Emily Warren, touches upon some of Brooklyn's best meat/wine pairings. I visited the Fort Greene wine shop 'Gnarly Vines', owned by Brian Robinson, to photograph Brian with his favorite pairing of a Flatbush Avenue Jamaican beef patty with a LI-based red from Channing Daughters.

 Next up was Park Slope's Palo Santo, where chef Jacques Gautier recommends a Wolffer's Claletto red (also Long Island-based) with his fall-right-off-the-bone wild boar shank braised in red wine.

 A second set of published work was featured in an article about Dan Gibson, owner of Grazin' Angus Acres farm, who supplies our city with some of the best meat in the state. This took me to Carroll Gardens' Seersucker, where Rob Newton uses Gibsons' beautifully marbled, tender and juicy meat in a meatloaf with stone-ground grits & tasso gravy, a chili / grilled cheese lunchtime combo, and a decadent burger drenched in pimento cheese (I can attest to all three being delicious).

Anyway, go pick up a copy at your local bookstore, Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, or any business listed HERE ......Enjoy!

"Behind Old Doors" - Chic Elegance, in Carroll Gardens

Patch.com collaboration with the great Sylvie Flatow. Words by she, photos by me.
Photos are of Anthony Cavagnuolo, my very first barber (back when I had hair), and owner of Chic Elegance - a classic Carroll Gardens hair and nail salon that's been operating since 1979.

Fort Point, Boston Engagement Shoot

I shot up to Boston earlier this week to link up with Matt & Adrienne, whose speakeasy themed wedding I'll be photographing this Summer (can't wait). We decided to shoot in the cool, up-and-coming Fort Point neighborhood of Boston (kind of like the Dumbo of Beantown). I obliged to meet them at the bar where they first met, aptly titled Drink, to kick off the photo session (and down a perfectly executed cocktail, thanks to one of Drink's highly skilled mixologists). As I was told days before, the bar would be incredibly dim-lit. Being darker than I had even expected, I packed up my gear, put our alcohol aside, and took a stroll around the neighborhood before the sun would finally disappear for the night. Here's a little sampling of our photo session:
