Radical Homemakers Harvest Swap

My friend Erin O’Neill and her colorful posse of gardeners proudly wear and promote their roles as homemakers – albeit of the radical persuasion – with such wholesome yet radical ideas as trading the bounty of their produce amongst each other, creating a barter economy outside the whole cash-capital-tax paradigm. For the third year in […]

Hunting the Elusive Porcini

For years, I’ve been wanting some insight into the mysterious undertaking known as “mushroom hunting”.

Interview about Smoke and Spice

In July, Wonderful Machine interviewed me on their blog about the Smoke and Spice cookbook. It’s always an interesting exercise to consider questions – I always find myself surprised at the new perspectives I find answering a question, describing an experience I thought I already knew quite well.

Smoke and Spice

I think every photographer secretly hopes to have a book of their work at some point in their career. Thanks to well known New Mexican cookbook authors Cheryl and Bill Jamison, I had my first opportunity last year, creating all of the recipe, atmospheric and cover images for the 20th Anniversary edition of their James […]

Duke City: A Layover Primer

When I have clients coming into Albuquerque for a project, I like to share a little local flavor during the brief time they usually have before/after a project for a little speed-style exploring.
