Syrian refugees in Indiana adjust to Trump’s America

February 23, 2017

I recently photographed the first family of Syrian refugees to resettle in Indianapolis for a story in The Washington Post. The story focused on refugees in Indiana and how they are coping since President Donald Trump’s election. Trump’s Vice President, Mike Pence, tried unsuccessfully to ban Syrian refugees when he was Indiana’s governor.

Spaghetti squash

January 7, 2017

I photographed spaghetti squash recently for a recipe posted on my wife’s food and lifestyle website, The Broadcasting Baker. As the weather turned this past fall, I threw together a small product table studio in the basement to photograph dishes like this for her site. It’s a change to the approach I had used previously in which I shot most of the dishes outside on our porch. So far I like the results, but I’m definitely ready for warmer weather and a return to my porch studio.
