I love food; cooking it, smelling it, eating it, thinking about it, reading about it, photographing it. It is, to me, an indelible cultural footprint which each society leaves, pointing to who we are; how we see ourselves and our relationship to the world. My career as a photographer has always involved photographing food for clients large and small: everyone from berry growers to classical trained French chefs to the food giants such as Kroger Stores and ConAgra Foods.
