With the most incredible wedding ever sadly a thing of the past, I am now in the city of Cochin, taking in southern India as much as I possibly can before heading back to the states on Thursday. Here's a hodgepodge of photos from the last couple of days...Enjoy!

Alcohol, Business, and Music

Who says these things don't mix? Okay, not usually. But in my world, they certainly do.  Here are some sneak previews of just a few of the things I've been working on over the last couple of weeks.


Photos published in Edible Brooklyn's "Alcohol Issue":

So much more to post, but I'm off to India tomorrow to photograph the wedding of a lovely Brooklyn-based couple! Stay tuned for a photo overload of elephants, spices, rice paddies, and...more elephants.
