“WHAT TO DO WHEN NO ONE HAS A CLUE” is a new author video I made for Stephanie Pierson and Barbara Harrison to publicize their book. It's a humorous take on 21st century etiquette. Famous people share their wisdom about awkward situations, such as: * Is it okay to ask a lesbian how she got pregnant? * Can you ask for a doggie bag at a four-star restaurant? * Who gets the dog in a divorce? The short film takes off on the tongue-in-cheek style of the book. WATCH the video

Talking corn: The Atlantic.com article and The Brian Lehrer radio show

Corn is my favorite pastime this time of year, so I decided to write about it. See the article on Atlantic.com.

And, it turns out I’m not the only passionate corn eater. The response to the piece was so great, I’ve been invited to talk about corn on WNYC’s Brian Lehrer Show on Wednesday, the 28th at 11:40AM. Listen, Call in, let’s talk CORN.

The show can be heard on WNYC.org and on the radio at 93.9FM and repeated at 12AM on AM 820.

a few years ago I shot a sequence of corn photographs. My son, Lincoln was kind enough to model.

“The RESTAURATEUR” Q&A with Danny Meyer

After the recent screening of The RESTAURATEUR in New York, Danny Meyer sat down with filmmaker Roger Sherman to talk about the film. This was the first time Meyer saw the whole film with an audience.

Sherman’s short introduction includes an explanation about how the project came about.

(Apologies for not having mics on people who ask questions. It’s pretty clear from the answers what the questions were).

Town & Country “A Taste of Tokyo” –– hot off the press

It’s always a nice surprise when an article that I shot months or in this case over two years earlier comes out. It’s like an old friend coming to visit. “A Taste of Tokyo” just hit the stands – Town & Country, August 2009. Town & Country Travel commissioned the piece on restaurants in Tokyo but when that magazine closed, the article was shifted to Town & Country and published in a much shortened form.

Photos below marked with * are published in the article.
