Chef Brad McDonald at Governor in DUMBO

I had the pleasure of photographing and tasting some dishes at Governor in DUMBO last week on assignment for Nona Brooklyn. Definitely going back for the full experience!

Hanging out with Evan Strusinski and Hugue Dufour

The most recent "Field to Fork" story I shot for Nona Brooklyn took me back out with wild edible forager, Evan Strusinski. This time we found ourselves in the woods and along the shores of Camden, Maine. Back here in Brooklyn Evan's mushrooms were delivered to Hugue Dufour, chef and owner of M. Wells Dinette at MoMA PS1.

Chef Brian Leth at Hillside, Brooklyn, New York

On Monday I shot Chef Brian Leth at Hillside near the Navy Yard in Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn. Chef Leth is famous for putting Vinegar Hill House and the newly opened Hillside on the map. The portraits are the final piece of the Island Creek Oyster story soon to be published by Nona Brooklyn.
