In The Kitchen With: Dani Fisher’s Dark Chocolate Matzah

April 2, 2012

Hi everyone and happy Monday! It’s back to the grind for me after a glorious quasi-weekend off! Ok, when you run your own business you don’t really ever have an actual day off, but after a few hours of resetting the studio and cleaning up we did manage to sneak away here. It really is [...]

10 Things

March 15, 2012

We’ve been shooting since January 1st it seems, and the results of a very fantastic project will soon see the light of day. It was quite possibly one of the most fun I’ve had working, [...]

Tart Cherry Hand Pies

February 27, 2012

  The note inside the package from American Spoon stopped me in my tracks. “Hope these preserved cherries bring fond memories of your trip to Michigan’s Cherry Festival.” The timing was perfect, actually.

I was recently reading one of my favorite blogs called Kitchen Corners from the lovely Damaris Santos Palmer, and yes, she’s as equally wonderful in person as you’d expect from reading her blog.

January 30, 2012

Last week I gave a studio tour to 40+ photograph students from Long Beach City College.

“Street Food”

January 16, 2012

Regular physical activities, such as walking and jogging, undertaken in my “colorful” neighborhood yield interesting vistas, moments and scenes. Case in point: A jar of Sandwich Spread carrying a double-ply bologna sandwich resting on the sidewalk.  Waiting. And for whom? Why abandon a sandwich? Was a packet of spread or mayo insufficient? I suppose I [...]

Winter Citrus, Revisited

January 5, 2012

This is a story about winter citrus. More specifically, it’s a story about finding a day to play in a photo studio, complete with beautiful props and gorgeous styling. It’s a story dedicated to free form (there are no recipes here!), to abundant light, to taking it slow and easy during the new year, but [...]

December 29, 2011

Well folks, we’re about to say goodbye to another year and I can’t think of a better way to ring it in than with a new banner! You know I like to update things now and then, and just the other day we finished a big citrus story at the studio for ourselves (yes, self-assignments [...]

Hamilton Island Great Barrier Feast

December 26, 2011

Will it be ok with you if I claim a compressed holiday schedule blended with a healthy dose of jet lag as to why I am only getting around to writing about my quick trip to Australia two weeks ago today? I came home after a 4-day trip and jumped immediately into 4 photo shoots. [...]
