The Farmer Series


Mulvaney's B & L commissed me to produce this photo essay about local food producers in the Sacramento region. For six months, I met with the people who provide this lovely farm-to-table restaurant with their ingredients, grown right in the Sacramento Valley. This was for me a marvelous undertaking. Being deeply concerned about the present state of our food culture, I was delighted to meet the people who have chosen the difficult task of producing food in their own terms in a time when cheap (and, consequently, low quality) is king.

The result are ten images, created on black and white film, then developed by hand, and finally printed on archival watercolor paper. They are on permanent display at Next Door - the area of the restaurant designated for private events.


The photo essay can be seen here.

Calçotada en Montseny, Catalunya, España




my first calçotada!




The calçotada is a delicious Catalan tradition that involves the roasted calçots (a type of gigantic green onion), lots of good company and great wine. We were in a macia in Monstseny, a lovely area in Catalunya.

carambola!!!

The star fruit is edible art!

A carambola é arte comestível!

my favorite restaurant!







Forget NYC high dining, my favorite restaurant in the whole world is located at the Lagoa de Tatajuba. Here the menu is displayed, not read. From today's catch I selected the lobster and the fish, which were cooked with a little butter on the grill. And don't forget the caipirinha! Life is good, it is good indeed!

Nada da alta cozinha de Nova Yorque, meu restaurante favorito no mundo todo fica na Lagoa de Tatajuba. Lá o menu não é lido e sim mostrado. Da pesca de hoje eu selecionei a lagosta e o peixe, que foram preaprados com um pouco de manteiga na churrasqueira. Tudo regado com uma caipiriha incrível! A vida é boa, é boa sim!
