MARKET by Jean-Georges has been a great place to shoot. Twice now, and last time I got black truffle pizza AND a nifty banner, so really I can’t complain. Seriously though, Chef David and Communications guru Jill are always so welcoming and professional, and with Jean-Georges’ dishes it’s hard not to have everything turn out delicious looking.

Here’s the shots for MARKET’s ‘certain sporting event’ themed menu…you’ve still got a few days to head over and try them out!

Happy Friday and last weekend of the Olympics!

@Tina_Inness and I had a great Firestarter session with Danielle LaPorte re: new foodie venture. I am definitely ‘whelmed’ (as opposed to overwhelmed…yup, you got it).

Chatted with 2 new awesome potential food photography clients.

Rocked virtual snowboarding at Live City Vancouver. Let me know if you beat 3300, I’ll meet you for a match.

Toured Sugar Studios, THEY Rep’s great new studio space for photographers in Vancouver.

Continued with organizations for bringing Heather Morton to Vancouver in March for a CAPIC event + portfolio consultations (I’m on the Board, you see). Can’t wait to meet her.

Worked with Robyn to refresh some spreadsheets and review some social media profiles.

Good week.

Adios for now,

The 2010 Olympics are in Vancouver right now. The city is full of international visitors and bustling. It’s quite awesome when I stop and think about it.

What’s also been happening is that I’ve been refining things; clarifying where I’m going with JCP. Usually over the Christmas holidays is when I do this, and 2009 was no exception, but something was nagging at me that I just couldn’t put my finger on. So, I powered through a busy January but now it’s time to revisit this.

This is what I’ve come down to:

• • Post on this blog twice per week, on Tuesdays and Fridays; don’t stress if I have to miss one here and there. And stop writing in my uber-professional voice all the time! Blech.
• • Get out from behind my computer. Get back in front of my sketchbook.
• • Dig into 2 new exciting markets with my food photography. Pun intended.
• • Launch an information providing online food related venture. More info on that soon.
• • And the personal, lifestyle changes - well there’s a few there too, but they’re, well, personal.

Cheerio for now,

A team of very creative and collaborative people I’ve had the pleasure of working with on a number of projects has officially launched their new website. Moeski Consulting Inc. is a full service design, concept and consulting firm that specializes in creating marketable and profitable projects within the hospitality industry, lead by two passionate directors: Brett Turner, Restaurant Consultant, and Karin Bohne, Interior Designer.

The website features some of my food photography and interior shots from Amanda (both above as seen on their home page), a talented and dear friend who is embarking on her own architecture & interior photography venture.

And congrats on the website Brett & Karin, it showcases your talents beautifully!

Over the past few weeks I’ve been sent this link by a variety of people I know - a designer, my other half, a friend…and it’s made me laugh every time because it’s so very, very true.

Enjoy and Happy Friday!
