In my second installment on NYT Diner’s Journal, I talk about shooting live action subjects in a food context. Come on over and check it out…your Uncle Harry will thank you the next time you shoot him at the BBQ.

Nobu with Halmeoni
The matriarch of the Korean side of our family has seen much in her 78 years. Sie Rang (we call her halmeoni which is Korean for grandma) has survived the Japanese occupation of her country and the war with the North. She endured a month-long journey to America on a ship with all of her [...]

The Nose Knows…Aldo Sohm
I had the pleasure to photograph Aldo Sohm, wine director at Le Bernardin and reigning World Champion sommelier (named by the Worldwide Sommelier Association) last week. His intensity and passion were evident every time he took up a glass. Read the article here.

So, Where have you been?
Sometimes time passes by like dripping honey…sometimes like the liquify setting on a blender. It’s been like the latter lately. It’s not like I haven’t been eating or shooting or generally cavorting with food these past few weeks…just not blogging about it.

I was happy to see that Sam captured the essence of owner, Rawia Bishara, when he described her as celestial. Rawia Bishara is one of the nicest people I have ever met in the restaurant business.

MoJo… 2 for 2
Back in the fall I posted chicken recipes, a superstitous prayer to the baseball gods for a Yankees World Series win…of course they won in 6. Last week, I posted a jambalaya recipe hoping to loan my friends in New Orleans my sports mojo as the Saints vied for the Super Bowl title…31-17 Saints. After [...]

Denial, Anger, Acceptance
I went to bed after the debacle that was day one with the ridiculous idea that I was going to wake up, have a fruit salad and all would be right with the world. The hotel’s continental breakfast was a well stocked example of what not to eat to start your day…greasy sausages, lumpy grits, [...]
