Food Images Inspired by Yozo Hamaguchi

Posted in Inspiration, Kitchen Inspirations, Photography, Publication Updates, tagged Alimentum, art, food, illustration, Inspiration, Japanese Aesthetics, Photography, travel, Yozo Hamaguchi on October 6, 2012| 16 Comments »

I am pleased to share that Alimentum Journal is featuring a set of my food photographs inspired by Japanese artist Yozo Hamaguchi.

Even before my extraordinary journey to Japan a few years ago, I had been intrigued by Japan and its culture, especially depictions of nature in print and on cloth, and as expressed in music, words and images. But visiting Japan awakened my senses to food as visual art object. Further research introduced the works of Yozo Hamaguchi, who inspired a whole series of photographs.

The Hamaguchi-inspired images can be viewed in the Alimentum Art Gallery HERE.

And you can view the full gallery of images on my website HERE.

Bon apetit! 😉

What do forks have to do with a long walk? Well, just click the picture or on this link to find out. Find a tale inspired by my interactions with a five-year old who has grown adept at asking “can you make up a story about [fill in the blank],” and my interactions with a 50-plus year old who has the spirit of a five-year old who tells me quite often what he will do with a fork in the road.

With such muses in my life, how could I not write this tale? Please enjoy and let me know what you think.

restful words and images

For many people, including myself, it seems that this has been an especially chaotic year. And so it is a great honor to have one of my images appear in the pages of Alive Now in the July/August 2012 issue focused on rest. It is a small, lovely publication that I highly recommend. And get this, the editor paired my image next to the words of Maya Angelou. How cool is that? 😉 Have a good day, folks.

New Book Available: In Edmands Park

Posted in Nature Notes, On the Road, Photography, Publication Updates, tagged books, edmands park, Massachusetts, nature, Newton, Photography on May 31, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Between 2006 and 2009, I had the pleasure of working in the vicinity of Edmands Park in Newton, MA. As a writer (and a bit of a free spirit) I had a certain amount of leeway to get up from my desk to walk out into the nearby woods. The jaunts were always short but long enough to clear my head and to focus my writing. And sometimes I was able to carry along my camera and capture just a bit of the beauty that inspired me. With the help of some friends, I have compiled the images into a lovely little book that I hope you will find enjoyable. Available in softcover.
