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.

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).

A great screening of The RESTAURATEUR for friends and family at Florence Gould Hall here in New York; btw it’s a fabulous screening room. This was the first time Danny Meyer saw the finished film. A Q&A followed; it was recorded and I hope to post it soon.
Here are some comments from emails, tweets and blogs:

After Dinner (part II in the series)
This is the second set of photographs that I’m posting in my series
that began in Japan in 2007.
I became interested in what was left on the plate after the meal.

After Dinner
A few years ago, while traveling in Japan, I became interested in what the table looked like after the meal. Here are a few photographs to begin this ongoing series.

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.
