wino

My friend, B., runs a website:
OfficialWinery.com
She offers vineyards and wineries around the country a networking outlet between those in the industry, and aficionados. The website offers reviews, articles and listings, and soon, will include photography as an offering to potential advertisers.
I'm that photographer (depending on how they like my work).
Yesterday, I got to go to Bookcliff Vineyards in Boulder for my first shoot.
The thing about this shoot that was challenging, is that I was photographing a winery without grapes. (The grapes are grown by Bookcliff at their Palisade location, but they were currently not in a production cycle; still the winery is open for tours and tastings--I HIGHLY recommend checking them out.) Nevertheless, I tried to incorporate the texture of wine into lighting and color as much as possible. The reflections in the place were amazing; although the surfaces in the winery were mostly stainless steel, they seemed to elaborate on the complexity of wine. John Garlich, the owner and winemaker, showed me around. What struck me most about this man was the genuine interest and pride in his winemaking process and outstanding product (believe me, she had really nice legs.......)

Here are some shots.

Savory Cafe in Ned



Hello.
A couple weeks ago, I went up to Nederland, Colorado (outside of Boulder) to take pictures of my friends Heather and Kim's restaurant, the Savory Cafe. We had a BLAST...and the humor and love of food got the best of us.
Honestly, I asked Heather to pay me in food. She is one of the most talented chefs I have ever encountered, and she cooks for me...suckas! She can cook for you too if you visit her at the Savory Cafe in Nederland. They are located at
20 Lakeview Drive
Nederland, CO 80466
Phone:
(303) 258-7329
 We used to have these "Iron Chef Heather" nights, where we would get together and bring RANDOM ingredients-like starfruit and beansprouts and she'd have us drooling over ourselves with the five course concoctions. She has worked in restaurants all over the country and she's happily settled in Nederland-for the time. Catch her while you can!
My recommendation: go on Sushi night-Wednesdays
Here are a few faves from the shoot:
