I had to throw together a full page color ad for TEDx Wilmington coming up at the month’s end.

some more regional magazine work
We picked up a stack of magazines from the studio over the weekend that included a note from my wonderful editor:
I was dispatched last month to meet a writer in Cecil County, MD to photograph farmer Robin Way and her circa 1700s cruelty-free, nonGMO, organic, grass fed, non pesticide working farm Rumbleway. Here are a few of the many images I took there that were published as part of a great profile written about Rumbleway.
Robin Way has run the farm with her husband since the 1990s.
Local artist Bill Dunlop painted this mural to greet visitors as they drive up to Rumbleway Farm.

Alpacas
We went location scouting to complete an alpaca wool clothing catalogue shoot and I found the perfect place!

March Force
It is March 4th and this week in southeastern Pennsylvania we have been experiencing the strangest winter weather yet.
A 3-day storm is moving through and has brought us water in every form! Yesterday, everything was quickly encased in an inch of solid ice. Today brought temps in the 40s so the lingering snow from last week began to melt which caused a magical fog. Tonight it has been raining torrentially and after midnight the rain is forecast to turn to snow that will bring upwards of 6″ in accumulation.

For Anita
I lost a friend and an irreplaceable, impeccably kindred spirit just before Thanksgiving suddenly and much sooner than I ever, ever expected. She was just 31. Beyond that, I really have no words for it.
Turning down a lane behind Barnard Orchards in Chester County, PA this foggy misty morning I drank in this tranquility, and wept.
Bailey’s Dairy Farm
Enjoying every moment so far of the second day of Autumn here in Chester County, PA. This is one of those places that breathes life back into me again. These cows always seem to be in perfect contentment! I just love to see them graze.
A breath away from this serenity is an atrocity that is a Toll Bros. housing development. It is one of the (many) great travesties in America “culture” that a land development company can knock down a bunch of trees, fill the acres with uninspired made-to-order houses, and further insult the region by calling this cramped new neighborhood “The Preserves”. “Cut down all the trees and name the streets after them…”
The dairy farm after “The Preserves” helps me believe in humanity again.
Photographs for a Feature in The Hunt Magazine
Photography I did last October at a farm-to-table event in the Chadds Ford, PA region went to press yesterday for a feature in The Hunt Magazine.
