Well, I’m taking new pictures at Cowtown Rodeo in order to round out the images and complete a book. Although I’ve liked the original work of portraits, I felt the body of work needed something else. So, I have been going back and photographing some more editorial images to help define the ‘flavor’ of the place.
Once I have completed these, I am designing a book that I will have Blurb print so that I can share it with others.
Thank you for the encouragements of others. I’m like other photographers in that once I have finished something, I tend to put in the back of the shelf and move onto the next project. Hugs to the many friends who have encouraged me to share the work a bit more widely.

Over the years as a photographer of food, I’ve sourced some of the most exotic of ingredients and mostly when they were out of season-anywhere.
Last year, on a job for Twinings Tea, I had to source the vanilla orchid flower as well as berries and other flavor elements in December. Well, as you can imagine, I’ve developed quite a network of suppliers and growers. Places like Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania and the Smithsonian Institute greenhouses have been wonderful resources of knowledge and contacts. Sometimes, I will even grow plants in my greenhouse or gardens if at all possible. It’s fun to learn how to force plants to bloom in the dead of winter.
One of the most rewarding parts of these acquisitions of materials for the shoots is that I discover a wealth of people who are crafting, out of passion- wonderful foods, right in my own back yard of Chester County, PA. My unique access to many farms and kitchens has led me to start a small series of photographs documenting the process and people behind some beautiful artisan foods.
So, “Gatherings” will be a series of photographs around and about Chester County, PA following one specific producer of artisan food at a time. The series will continue on a monthly basis.
Please let me know what you think as I start to post images. Also, if you would like to get in contact with anyone I am documenting, I will be posting contact information for each grower, producer, baker and lover of good food as their series is released.
Thanks for looking~

Hello-
Why a blog? well, I think of this blog as a sketchbook, a visual diary. OK, there will be some words too. I will be posting mostly ‘personal’ work. That is -self assigned images and projects as well as thoughts about where I think I am going visually. My website at www.blackinc.net is my online portfolio, but I hope this blog will give anyone interested a behind the scenes view.
So, Welcome – hope you find some of it of interesting. Let me know.
