Burger & Barrel Photo Shoot

Had a great photo shoot at the newest NYC burger and wine hot spot (B&B) with their Chef, Josh Capon.  I definitely recommend B&B...and not just because they're a client.  The food tastes even better than it looks and the bar is amazing.  Here are a few shots from the session, and you'll find more on their website.

Brooklyn Winery

So I have a new side project...making wine!  The Brooklyn Winery is about to open in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and in addition to having a restaurant and bar they offer the opportunity for groups to make their own wine.  I'm in one of their first wine making groups, and we're a barrel of Pinot Noir.  We're involved in every step of the process; choosing the grapes, de-stemming and crushing, pressing, racking, bottling, and labeling.  It's a great opportunity to learn about wines and the wine making process.  Very, very cool.  They will officially open in the next week or two.
Check out the link to their website if you want to learn more, and see some informal photos I took while I was there de-stemming this weekend.  Brooklyn Winery.
I'll also be taking some high quality shots of the interior space and menu items for their website and advertising soon.

Being Featured in a Documentary Film

Many of you know that in 2009 I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine (2,178 miles), and documented it through photography, journals, and interviews with other hikers. For those of you who don't know this, please see the Appalachian Trail Hike link to the right. It's kinda cool.Now, I am working with a documentary filmmaker who is creating a film highlighting several people who live in NYC but need to be connected to nature and the outdoors.  This weekend he and his film crew will follow me for some of my 4 day hike in upstate NY.  We will be working together over the next few months, and I will be filmed more on the trail, in the City, and in one on one interview situations.  It's very exciting.  Any time I can help spread the word about hiking, the Appalachian Trail, the outdoors, NYC, and ME...I am more than willing to do so.

I will be posting updates during the filming.  Keep watching!
