I saw a bag of shelled mixed nuts in the grocery store and thought how beautiful they were and would make a nice picture. I put together this set in my home and used a hot light directed through a cucoloris to break up the light. I sent it out as a holiday card.

Two of my favorite things in the world are pistachios and Jack Daniels. My wife gave me this cool pistachio dish for Christmas and thought it deserved to be photographed.

Whenever I have some down time, I like to create a still life image. I bought this old peach crate on eBay to have for use as a background element, with no immediate use in mind. I photographed this shot in my kitchen dining area using only window light. I made the window frame and propped up some old barn wood for the background and foreground. The window scene was photographed on a recent trip to Ravello, Italy.

I did this photograph for my own pleasure. I built and distressed the window frame and table top. This was photographed using window light. I added the window seen from an image I took in Venice last fall.

I photographed this loaf of bread for my portfolio. Photographed using natural light in my kitchen with a set I constructed. The window image was added from a photograph I took in Positano last year.
