Shooting from the Hip #19

In a couple of days it’s back to business, having wrapped and packed and loaded up and moved and unloaded and unwrapped and unpacked and then moved some stuff home after moving it to the new studio ’cause it didn’t fit (<looks like a run on sentence, doesn’t it?). The September email promotions and postcards [...]

Shooting from the Hip #15

8/31/09, 10:33AM – It’s a long story, let’s just say I was cruisin’ the veggie tables to kill some time. I looked up green zebras and got a surprize! Tom Wagner (no relation that I’m aware of, honest) is an heirloom tomato breeder (can you herd them, too?) responsible for developing the green zebras. He’s [...]

Shooting from the Hip #14 & Greenmarket in the Studio #2

As I continue to shoot the Union Square Farmer’s (Green?) Market, I see a pattern. My studio work of Union Square produce over the past three years has clean crisp lines and, with a tip of the hat to Avedon, is shot unadorned with simple lighting. On the other hand, the “as is, where is,” [...]

This is the first year I remember seeing them at the market and when I looked them up, I found that they are grown in warmer climates like Thailand and Southern [...]

Greenmarket In the Studio #1

Beets are one of those foods folks either love or hate. I love ‘em. Roasted with goat cheese and grilled chicken in a salad on a hot summer evening. I took these guys back to the studio to give them their proper respect (thanks Aretha!) and then shoved them in the oven for an hour [...]

Shooting from the Hip # 7

A pile of yellow, green and red peppers at Union Square Market – 3:49PM July 13, 2009 These peppers had a wonderful inside glow from the reflected summer afternoon sunlight. I didn’t quite know what I had captured until I viewed them on a large monitor, as the three inch screen on my Canon didn’t [...]
